P5-Task 3 (Factors needed for the web)

Email Attachments
When a user tries to send an email with a file attachment to another user, the file size builds up and may take longer to send. This is because most files sent over the web could be documents, images and movies; these files could be between 1MB to 100MB. Most email sites have a limit of around 10 Gigabytes per message, hence why most people don't send full movies via email, alternatively you could send files like animation formats such as gif and flash, movies under a compressed ZIP file because it compresses the file size in order for the file to be transacted correctly and fast, and it could also help with the file size problem some workplaces/colleges have

E-Cards
An e card stands for an Electronic Card, which is basically a type of post card or greetings card that is sent over the web to another user. These electronic cards can be easily created on websites to be sent from user to another through E-mails. The e card is basically in an animation format such as, gif and flash so they can be transferred quickly over the internet. They are specifically designed for taking up less space for when sending to a client

Output devices
Printer- will print out animations onto paper from office applications or straight from the web. When printing out paper that displays a fair amount of colour, it will take longer due to the amount of colour and text that is produced for using on paper.

Monitor- is a type of output device where it will display the physical animations in their working state. For your computer to display animations and media content on the internet, the system or device needs to have flash installed to display various features on websites and Java needs to be installed to play video games that contains graphic animations within

Mobile Devices
Most mobile devices don't have the same compatibility within the device as a computer has or can handle. All websites created for computers and mobile devices have two separate formats for each one. When websites are created, they develop the website in a different format so mobiles can have the benefit to navigate to these pages too. When a mobile device navigates to a website that only has computer compatibility, everything within that site will be small for the user to see and will have to enlarge the screen size. Mobile sites will automatically be fitted to the right screen mode for mobile users to interact on the site
