    The document discusses an analogy comparing the internet to a train system. It begins by introducing the train analogy and listing key aspects of the internet to include, such as search engines, social media companies, and data transmission. It then provides a diagram mapping popular websites, apps, and services to locations along the train line, with search engines like Google and Bing at the front, social media platforms in the middle, and various other sites towards the end. It concludes by explaining the train analogy in more detail, noting how data travels from the router and modem along fiber optic cables to internet service providers and search engines before reaching its destination, though specific addresses must be known to access the data directly.

    It goes from the router and the


    modem through a fiber optic cable
    to the isp’s then to the search
    engine which is searched on the
    internet

    Data is often in a website.


    Data is incripted with a specific code (URL)
    It takes the fastest route to get where it needs to go.
    Anyone can access the data but you must know the
    exact address which makes it slow to find
    Lots of data travels along the trainline
    Anyone can upload data to the train line
    The effect of technology on society and the environment

    1. Give an example of how TECHNOLOGY influences your life both positively and
    negatively. Explain why.

    We use technology for learning purposes and for work so that’s a positive and you can
    play with friends on online games

    Technology also influences up negatively because children just sit Infront of a


    screen all day not doing anything that helps them learn and there is also people
    who do dodgy things on the internet. If you put your credit card details in your
    PS4 for example if anyone see that they can use your credit card to buy whatever
    they want.

    2. Give an example of how the TECHNOLOGY has an influence on the environment,


    either positively or negatively. Explain why.

    Kids sitting on a screen all day doing nothing that helps them learn kids should go
    outside and play in the environment. Also making computers use iron and gold.
    The amount of electricity to power a computer contributes to millions of tons of
    greenhouse gasses. Computers are powered by nuclear power plants which are
    powered by heat. People have to mine to make a boat to lay the wires on the
    bottom of the ocean and people have to mine to make the wire.
