ICT (Info. & Comm. Tech.)
• ICT deals with the use of different
communication technologies such
as mobile phones, telephone,
Internet, etc. to locate, save, send,
and edit information.
• Example: when we make a video
call, we use internet.
ICT in the Philippines

Asia”.

around the country, one of which is
call center or BPO (Business
Process Outsourcing) centers.

ICT in the Philippines
•Time magazines declared Makati
City, Philippines-Rank 1 as the
“Selfiest Cities around the world,
and Rank 9 is Cebu City.
WWW(World Wide Web)
•When WWW was invented, most
web pages were static. Static (also
known as flat page or stationary
page) in the same that the page “as
is” and cannot be manipulated
by the user. This referred to as Web
1.0.
Example of Web 2.0
•Social Networking sites
•Blogs
•Wikis
•Video sharing sites
Web 2.0
•Web 2.0 allows the user to
interact with the page known as
DYNAMIC PAGE; instead of just
reading a page, the user may be
able to comment or create a user
account. Dynamic page refers to
the web pages that are affected
by user input or preference.
Key Features of Web 2.0:
• Folksonomy – allows users to
categorize and classify/arrange
information using freely chosen
keywords (e.g. tagging). Popular
social networking sites such as
Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc.
use tags that start with a pound
sign (#) or hashtag.
Key Features of Web 2.0:
• Rich User Interface – content is
dynamic and is responsive to user’s
input. An example would be a
website that shows local content. In
the case of social networking sites,
when logged on, your account is
used to modify what you see in
their website.
Key Features of Web 2.0:
• User Participation– the owner of
website is not the only one who is
able to put content. Others are able
to place a content on their own by
means of comments, reviews, and
evaluation.
Key Features of Web 2.0:
• Long Tail – services are offered on
demand rather than on a one-time
purchase. This is synonymous to
subscribing to a data plan that
charges you for the amount of time
you spent on Internet or a data plan
that charges you for the amount of
bandwidth you used.
Web 3.0 and the Semantic
Web
• Semantic Web– is a movement
led by the World Wide Web
Consortium(W3C). The semantic
web provides a framework that
allows data to be shared and reuse
to deliver web content specifically
targeting the user.
Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized
because of several problems:
• Compatibility-HTML files and
current web browsers could not
support Web 3.0.
•Security – The user’s security is
also question since the machine
is saving his or her preferences.
Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized
because of several problems:
• Vastness-The World Wide Web
already contains billions of web
pages.
•Vagueness – Certain words are
imprecise. The words “old” and
“small” would depend to the
user.
Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized
because of several problems:
• Logic- since machines use
logic, there are certain
limitations for a computer to be
able to predict what the user is
referring to at a given time.
Trends in ICT
1. Convergence– is the synergy of
technological advancements to
work on a similar goal or task.
For example, besides using your
personal computer to create
word documents, you can now
use your smartphone.
