 WORLD WIDE WEB
The World Wide Web (WWW) is a network of online content that is formatted in HTML and
accessed via HTTP. The term refers to all the interlinked HTML pages that can be accessed over
the Internet. The World Wide Web was originally designed in 1991 by Tim Berners-Lee while
he was a contractor at CERN.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee is a British computer scientist. He was born in London, and his parents
were early computer scientists, working on one of the earliest computers.

Tim’s original proposal

 WWW is an information system on the internet

 It contains website and webpages

Techopedia explains World Wide Web (WWW) The World Wide Web is what most people think of
as the Internet. It is all the Web pages, pictures, videos and other online content that can be accessed
via a Web browser. The Internet, in contrast, is the underlying network connection that allows us to
send email and access the World Wide Web.

The World Wide Web is another way to describe the Internet, which is a network of computers which
are connected and that share information and allow communication around the world.

_________________________________________________5____________________________________________________
 WEB 1.0
Web 1.0 refers to the first stage in the World Wide Web, which was entirely made up of web pages
connected by hyperlinks. Although the exact definition of Web 1.0 is a source of debate, it is generally
believed to refer to the web when it was a set of static websites that were not yet providing interactive
content. In Web 1.0, applications were also generally proprietary. Exactly where Web 1.0 ends and
Web 2.0 begins cannot be determined as this a change that happened gradually over time as the
internet became more interactive. On web 1.0 webpages were static.

Web 1.0

WEB 2.0
Web 2.0 is the name used to the describe the second generation of the world wide web, where it
moved static HTML pages to a more interactive and dynamic web experience. Web 2.0 is focused on
the ability for people to collaborate and share information online via social media, blogging and Web-
based communities. Web 2.0 was first used around 2004

Web 2.0

 TECHNOLOGY
 The current state of ICT
 ICT means information and communication technology. It is an extended term of
information technology (IT)

ICT refers to technologies that provide access to information through telecommunications. It is

similar to Information Technology (IT), but focuses primarily on communication technologies.
This includes the Internet, wireless networks, cell phones, and other communication mediums.

There are 6 components to an ICT system

Data: raw facts and figures.
Hardware: physical components.
Software: the name given to computer programs.
Information: data that is converted to give it a meaning.
Procedures: a series of actions conducted in a certain order to make sure the system runs
smoothly.
People: data is entered by humans, for example a keyboard.

Components of ICT

 ICT in the Philippines
 ICT hub of asia
 According by the international telecommunication union, 106.8 cellphones per 100 filipinos in
the year 2012
 According to time magazine “the selfiest cities around the world” of 2013 places two cities
from the philippines in the top 1 and 10 spots.
Trends for the Philippines’ Information and Communications Technology (ICT) for 2019 and
Beyond

Workspace 360 - By 2019, the rise of digital natives and the influence of digital-native mindset
on enterprises will push novel workspace trends. It is a result of increased mobile access to the
internet, which results in increased demand for work not limited by location and with openness to
collaborations. As an example, Yondu’s office space, which was given a new look last September
2017, follows this rising trend to better show the digital-native mindset it has.

DX in the BPO Industry - By 2019, as digital transformation shakes up the BPO market
dynamics, BPO providers that align their DX plans with the changes in the industry will gain
competitive edge in the market. Because the outsourcing industry is now being threatened by the
rise of artificial intelligence, which may take over 40k to 50k “low-skilled” or process-driven jobs,
it should now move to higher-level skills and higher value-added services such as big data
analytics, app development, and related fields.

Future of Payments - By 2019, the country will continue to witness creative and Philippine-
centric payment and remittance innovations, driven by the country’s unbanked sector and the
ongoing rise of remittances from overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).

Digital Economy Tipping Point - In the next 12-36 months, enterprises are headed to a
different higher level of maturity when it comes to DX adoption. In the same manner, clearer digital
vision for the country should be seen, as the government barrels up its ICT initiatives. The
country’s ICT development has been showing significant progress from both the public and private
sector domains. The combined efforts of these two stakeholders will usher a period of rapid and
robust technology adoption

TRENDS IN ICT
 CONVERGENCE - What is Convergence? Convergence refers to the fusing or
coming together to gradually form something similar. “Convergence is a process by which
telecommunications, information technology and the media, sectors that originally operated
largely independent of one another, are growing together.” (Papadakis, 2007). Since the 1980s,
there have been numerous innovative convergences of heterogeneous technologies to create new
products and services, and even new technologies. (Lee, Olsen and Trimi 2010). There are various
types of convergence taking place in the ITC world. Synergies amalgamations and harmonising of
the various types and varieties of convergence is cause change to world we know.

 TECHNOLOGICAL CONVERGENCE – is a synergy of technological

advancement to work on a similar goal or task.
 CONVERGENCE – is using several technologies to accomplish a task conviniently.

5 ELEMENTS OF TECHNOLOGICAL CONVERGENCE

 Technology
 Media and content
 Software and services
 Robot and machines
 Virtual reality

-Software is a set of electronic instructions that tell a computer what to do. You cannot see or
touch software, but you can see and touch the packaging the software comes in.

2 TYPES OF SOFTWARE
 Application software - Application software is a term which is used for software created
for a specific purpose. It is generally a program or collection of programs used by end users. It
can be called an application or simply an app. In fact all the software other than system software
and programming software are application software.

 Operating system software - Operating systems use device drivers written by hardware
creators to communicate with their devices. Operating systems also include a lot of software—
things like common system services, libraries, and application programming interfaces (APIs)
that developers can use to write programs that run on the operating system.

CREATING AN EFFECTIVE
PRESENTATION
 WHAT IS A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION? - is a
presentation created using by Microsoft PowerPoint software. The presentation is a collection
of individual slides that contains information on a topic.

WHAT IS THE USE OF MICROSOFT POWERPOINT? -

PowerPoint is a computer program that allows you to create and show slides to support a
presentation.

TIPS IN CREATING AN EFFECTIVE PRESENTATION

MINIMIZE - Keep slide counts to a minimum to maintain a clear message and to keep the
audience attentive.

CLARITY - Avoid being fancy by using font style that is easy to read. TIPs : A font size of 72
is about an inch ( depends on the screen size ). One – inch letter is readable 10 feet away; two
– inch letter is readable 20 feet away.

SIMPLICITY - Use bullets or short sentences. Summarize the information on the screen. Limit
the content to six lines and seven words per line. This is known as the 6 x 7 rule.

VISUALS - Use graphics to help in your presentation but not too many to distract the audience.

CONSISTENCY - Make your design uniform. Avoid having different font styles and
backgrounds.

CONTRAST - Use light font on dark background or vice versa.
