IPlayer can be used to watch shows from the BBC, including Cbeebies, BBC 1 and 2. These shows will be available to watch online for a certain amount of time, after they have been shown on television. As well as this you can also listen to radio channels from the BBC using iPlayer. You can watch all sorts of categories such as comedy, news and drama. Xbox live. This is an online site for the Xbox console. On this site you can find out about good games from the Xbox, accessories available for your Xbox and contact people online who you can also play against via your Xbox. 97% of US teens are playing video games. They help connect people via a social network. ¾ of teens play games with other people in the US. Games can now be played using Phones, portable gaming devices, online, on consoles and more. Negatives: some people can meet each other, online, believe they are compatible and realise they are nothing alike in real life. People have been known to get married in real life, from meeting online through games. Your identity can also be stolen and you are at risk from paedophiles and more using games in which you are in contact with others. Mozy is an online backup service. It is helpful in case there is an incident with your computer, in which case all of the data would be saved online using Mozy and available to download back onto your computer for free. This service runs automatically. No need for backup CDs. If it is on a site your details can be taken, as can the files you have backed up. It can take a very long time to put your files online and download them from Mozy. For $4.95 you can download ALL files on your computer and use the unlimited service. For free you can have 2GB of files uploaded on Mozy. Encryption is available on the site to ensure a high level on security on the site to prevent fraud and theft. LinkedIn is a social networking service for professionals. For example you can look for people you have previously worked for, your images will be those of a higher class (not you getting drunk at the pub with mates!) You can also get information off of this site, maybe if you are looking to move u in your career. Loopt is another social networking service used on your mobile phone. This sends a map to your friends to let them know where you are at that time. You can be followed unwillingly if you accidentally forgot to change you status, a lack of privacy ad a feeling of violation. Of someone is missing it can be very helpful.
