The main difference between sending photos through wifi and on your phone is that through wifi sending photos is free, whereas on a phone there could be additional charges if you send it through a message, it is free to send photos through Bluetooth but to do that you need to be within range of the recipient. Another difference is sending photos through wifi  will take less time than sending photos through 3g or Bluetooth because the connection will be more reliable.

A local band would like a logo designed for their website this needs to be combined with their band photo.
The graphic you would use to create this would be a bitmap. You would use this because it wouldn't need to be blown up big so it doesn't matter that it is made up of pixels. You would use Macromedia Fireworks or Adobe Photoshop to create a bitmap.

A builder wants some eye catching text for the side of his van to improve business opportunities. 
The graphic you would use to create this would be a Vector.You would use this because to go on the side of a van the image would have to be quite big and vectors are not made out of pixels so the quality will still be good no matter how big you make the image. You would use Adobe Illustrator to create a Vector.

The nursery on your estate would like a flyer designed to promote the facility.
The graphic you would use to create this would be a PDF file. You would use this so it could be opened anywhere if you didn't do this you wouldn't be able to open the flyer if the computer didn't have to program. You can create a PDF on most programs but to make a flyer you would use Microsoft Publisher.

How do protocols and devices keep data safe?

To keep protocols safe you should put a password on all your accounts the password should be quite complicated to hack and you shouldn't tell anyone. Also you should change your password every couple of weeks and when you close off something like email for example you should make sure to log out. Bluetooth can be quite easy to hack as the code is easy to read. Wi-Fi  is protected by W.A.P which means it is harder to hack unless you have a password. However if your Wi-Fi is "open" this is not the case as it is easier to hack. Encryption can be used to protect data because it scrambles data so if your data was hacked the person who hacked your account wouldn't be able to see it anyway.
