In my notes I covered how they worked in regards to digital signals and the social/environmental impacts and what not of the devices.

If you scroll down the the syllabus dot points.

• Identify data sources, gather, process and present the information from secondary sources to identify areas of current research and use the available evidence to discuss some of the underlying physical principles used in one application of physics related to waves such as:

- Global Positioning System
- CD technology
- the internet (digital process)
- DVD technology

I think most schools will do this as a form of an assignment. You should discuss the physical principles behind it in relation to wave physics, (ie. how does it work?), the social and environment impacts. ie (I am sure you will need to do BOTH NEGATIVE and POSITIVE impacts, please)
