yeh i put usb drive/cable but i messed up the next one and just put 'lead or cable' i dont know why my head wasnt thinking straight it was indeed my birthday yesterday so i kinda lost focus but again no excuses lol. Any other questions? For the marker FIRST one i talked about how you can get viruses, look at illegal content, download illegal files, be a victim of phishing, and be a victim of online bullying/talking to strangers in chat rooms. Also i provided answers to the virus bit by saying you could get antivirus software.

Hey guys!
What wired connection can connect a harddrive to a computer?
I wrote USB
And then I also wrote HDMI but I literally could not think of any wires apart from that and Ethernet which it wouldnt be so...
That paper was so horrible compared to the mocks!
With ICT the questions are so vague yet the markscheme is so specific!

the fact is for questions like that the mark schemes are really specific yet they is loads of difeerent answers i hope they allows a range of answers because it would be pathetic for them to make it specific.
