John could use the followig ICT devices to improve the efficieny of his work:
PDA
GPS
Laptop
Software
Mobile phone
Internet
A PDA could be useful to John as he currently carries around a large diary, an adress book, a large road atlas and numerous A-Zs. If John bought a PDA he could store all this information on it, and wouldn't need to bring so much into work.
A GPS could completely remove the need for a large road atlas, again reducing the amount of equipment. The GPS would be easier to read than the road atlas, so it would help John be more puntual as he would be able to find his clients easier.
A laptop would improve Johns productivity as he should be able to access his sales catalogue online. This has another major advantage over carrying the catalogue, as the online version can be updated easier, so John wouldn't need to recieve the latest edition every time he wants to have a look at the latest price lists and order forms.
Having a mobile phone would save John money, as he doesn't have to constantly use pay phones. Also he doesn't have to carry around a large amount of small coins with him which would make his life a lot more convenient.
Internet access would assist John as it enables him to send / recieve e mails to customers, also he can check his website at any time.
The main disadvantage of all this technology is weather John has the ability to use them. It is obvious John hasn't used any of this technology before, and learning to use them would take a considerable amount of time.
