Give four different types of business activity and demonstrate how to solve the problems in internet use [M1]

1) Non-deliver of email

I am going to demonstrate on different problems faced by users in business in which I will first start with “non-deliver of emails”. As you can see, I just sent an email but I receive an email from “mail delivery system” instead. So basically, when you receive the notification of “mail delivery system” it means that your receiving email is either wrong or there are some features not included in your email.

The causes may vary to different factors, but what to prevent it from happening?

1. Double check either the email address that you want to send to is correct or not

2. Make sure not to miss any important features like the subject, etc.

3. Make sure you have a good connection service

If you don’t receive the mail delivery system email, that means that you have sent to the correct email. 

2) Too many hits on search engine

Next, too many hits on search engine. At times, this can be frustrating and time-consuming to some business users when they are planning to use the internet for some purposes especially when doing business research. in this case, I am going to find an article about entrepreneurship program in Brunei.

In order to lessen the amount of hits on search engine, there are few steps that business users need to follow:

1. Make sure to use unique, specific terms to reduce the number of pages shown

2. Use quotation mark for exact phrase

3. Don’t use common words and punctuation

4. Use capitalization

5. Drop the suffixes. it is usually best to enter the base word so that you won’t receive any irrelevant pages. For instance, putting the word "business" instead of "businesses".

By doing so, users can immediately find their targeted pages instead of wasting more time scrolling through the webpage. Most importantly, users can start their business research effectively.

3) Email spams

Many email spam messages are commercial in nature but may also contain disguised links that appear to be for familiar websites but in fact lead to phishing web sites or sites that are hosting malware.

Chances are that most of us reading this email can easily identify a spam message in our inbox and ignore it. However, not everybody is as experienced in the methods of marketing and the risks associated with spam. There are individuals in the world who will respond to spam messages, giving the malicious spammers who sent them exactly the risky financial or personal information that those spammers want. The result can be profit for the spammers and even financial loss for the recipients.

Actions taken to reduce risks of email spams:

1. Maximize filter use. Gmail includes tools for filtering email and blocking spam as well

2. Never respond to email spams

3. Block and report spam. If your email provider offers these services, take advantage of them. You may think that deleting a spam message is enough, but all that does is remove one message from your inbox. When you block messages from a certain sender, that sender cannot use that same email address to send you more messages.

4) Error messages

An error message is a message displayed to the user by an operating system or application when an unexpected condition happens. In most cases, error messages are displayed with the help of dialog boxes by the operating system or application. Error messages are required when user intervention is needed or to pass important warnings.

The solution to reduce risks are as following:

1. Re-check the word spelling before entering to the search box

2. Assure that connection service is stable

3. Make sure not to miss any features like http:// or www as it will make a difference

4. Do not use any shortform
