Q: Select up to 5 environmental issues that should be considered when developing computer systems
- Some people cannot afford computers
- Citizens in countries like India are being exploited as a source of cheap labour
- Companies should try to employ people who live locally
- Design can disadvantage parts of some communities
- Computer system design should promote accessibility for all
- Users of a system should be asked to sign an end user license agreement
- Design systems that encourage people to work from home and therefore drive less
- Designing new improved computer system means more manufacturing and use of materials
- Designing systems that replace the tasks humans do means more leisure time for humans
- Designing a great computer system can enable the manufacturers and retailers to make a lot of profit
- As new devices and systems are developed every year, consumers dispose of the old devices that they no longer want to keep or use
- As computing devices become smaller and more efficient, they require less energy to do the same amount of work

A: Is it fair that some people cannot afford computers?; Are countries like India being exploited as a source of cheap labour for call centres and for developing software?; Should companies employ local programmers?; Does the system design disadvantage some part of the community?; Does the system design promote accessibility for all?

Q: When creating a computer system the designer needs to take practical considerations into account that will determine if the software is to be completed on time or not.

Select up to three of the most critical considerations a developer needs to consider when meeting a deadline.
- the system requirements
- the budget available
- the timescales it has to be produced in
- the name of the software
- which colours will work best for the user interface
- how to market the software
- a disaster recovery plan
- which ISP to use
