Going around and observing the campus, we found out that there are a lot of scenarios which IT is

implemented. Some of the technologies that is used are television, projector, biometrics scanner and
Closed-Circuit Television or CCTV.

In the first scenario, IT was implemented through the use of television and projector. These technologies
are used by the students in presenting their report and discussing the lesson for their subject. How
about if these kinds of technology are not available, what manual process or alternative we can use? In
case IT cannot be implemented, we can make visual aids like posters, charts, or models, using manila
paper in presenting our report. Using television and projector have also advantages and disadvantages.
Some of their advantages is the ease of use, larger screen size and a high resolution. Using these
technologies give the ease of use as the students will not be required to write their visual aids to explain
their lesson. Also, these technologies can create large images, making them ideal for presentations with
a large audience. They also offer excellent picture quality, making visuals clearer and more engaging. The
disadvantages of using these technologies are: first, is that they are bulky and not easily transportable,
making them less suitable for presentations in different locations. Other disadvantage of these
technologies is the cost, because high quality technologies can be expensive.

In the second scenario, IT was implemented through the use of biometrics scanner, where it is used by
the school’s employees to have an easier way to record their attendance. In case biometrics scanner is
not implemented we can use manual process or alternatives like time cards and time sheets to track our
employee’s attendance. Using time cards, employees can manually punch in and out on time cards,
which are then collected and processed by the HR department. On time sheets, employees can fill out
time sheets, recording their start and end times for each day. Although biometrics scanners are created
to have an easier way of recording attendance this also have the advantages and disadvantages. Some
advantage of this is that biometric systems are highly accurate, minimizing the possibility of "buddy
punching" or time theft. Since biometric information is specific to each person, it is difficult to copy or
falsify. Employees may clock in and out fast, saving time on manual attendance procedures. Because
attendance data is gathered and saved automatically, errors and human data entry are decreased.
Real-time attendance data from biometric technology enables managers to monitor staff members'
presence and absence. The disadvantages of biometric scanner are the cost, privacy concerns, technical
issues, environmental factors and accessibility issues. A quality biometrics scanner can be expensive to
purchase and maintain. The use and storage of their biometric data may raise privacy concerns for
certain employees. Also, malfunctioning scanners can disrupt attendance recording. Biometric scanners
provide a safe, effective, and precise method of monitoring staff attendance. However, before putting a
biometric system in place, it's crucial to take the costs, privacy considerations, and any technological
problems into account.

On the last scenario, IT was implemented through the use of Closed-Circuit Television or CCTV where it is
used in the school to enhance the safety and security of everyone in the school premises. If IT is not
implemented, we can use as an alternative or manual process the simple security measures like lighting
the premises and ensuring that all doors and windows are properly locked. Also, we can use manual
monitoring like regular patrols. Conducting regular patrols of a property, especially at night. This can help
detect and provide a visual check for any suspicious activity. Like any other technologies, CCTV has also
advantages, and disadvantages. Some of these advantages are: CCTV can be used in gathering evidences
for a certain issue. CCTV can help create a safer environment for individuals and businesses by
monitoring areas and providing a sense of security. The disadvantages of CCTV are: A major concern with
CCTV is its potential to invade privacy. Cameras can capture individuals without their consent, raising
ethical and legal questions about data storage and usage. CCTV systems can be expensive to purchase,
install, and maintain. This includes the cost of cameras, recording equipment, storage, and ongoing
maintenance. Technical problems including malfunctions, hacking, or data loss can affect CCTV systems.
Their efficacy may be weakened, and security flaws may result. CCTV systems have limitations, such as
poor performance in low-light conditions, blind spots, and the need for multiple cameras to cover large
areas. The use of CCTV should be carefully considered and implemented responsibly.

We must approach the usage of technology with a balanced viewpoint as we continue to accept its
improvements.
