On the assumption that you heard/read the SONA of the President last month, (July 2000), identify at least 3 areas related to ICT and identify how these areas can improve our quality of life.

I personally experienced this one, where unsolicited promo directly sends ring tunes and mms, without my approval or without my consent to download it or subscribe to there ads.
