Example Band 1 Situation “When looking for a mobile phone on the internet I can read reviews from other customers who already own the phones and find out which one suits my needs the best. People I know may not have a wide range of phones so getting review without the internet maybe difficult. Online, there are also detailed descriptions of the features of each phone and some sites even have comparison charts and even videos to help me decide which is the best one. The reviews online are better than going to a shop as sales people can be biased and could try to sell me phones they want rid of rather than one I want. Once I have found a phone online, price comparison websites can then be used to help me save money and get the best deal, as they take prices from a range of stores and present the information in a form which is easy to compare deals. If I did not have access to this electronic information I would have to go around lots of shops – also not all of the shops online are in my local area. By using a price comparison website I have access to far more information than is available to me in my towns shopping area. I have also seen videos showing me how the phone works so I wouldn’t have to read the instruction manual - videos are also easier to learn from in my opinion and often show short cuts which users find out and extra hints and tips that are not in the manual”. INFORMATION – WHY – IMPACTS – HOW ELSE COULD DO
