The Current State of ICT

The document discusses the current state of information and communication technology (ICT) in the Philippines, focusing on different generations of the World Wide Web. It describes Web 1.0 as static pages, Web 2.0 as dynamic pages that allow user interaction and participation through features like social media sites and tagging, and Web 3.0 as semantic pages where machines understand user preferences to deliver personalized content, though this is not fully realized due to compatibility, security, size, and logic limitations. The Philippines is considered Asia's ICT hub with 19.3% of its workforce employed in the growing ICT industry, especially business process outsourcing call centers.

TOPIC/s : The Current State of ICT in the Philippines

- Web 1.0 (Static)


- Web 2.0 (Dynamic)
- Web 3.0 (Semantic)

Introduction
Several international companies dub the Philippines as the “ICT Hub of Asia”. It is no secret that there is a huge
growth if ICT-related jobs around the country, one of which is the call center or BPO (Business Process Outsourcing)
centers. In a data gathered by the Annual Survey of Philippine Business and Industries, PSA, in 2010, the ICT industry
shares 19.3 % of the total employment population here in the Philippines.

Web 2.0: Dynamic Web Pages


When the world wide web was invented, most web pages are static. Static (also known as flat page or stationary
page) in the sense that the page is “as is” and cannot be manipulated by the user. The content is also the same for all
users. This is referred to as Web 1.0
Web 2.0 is the evolution of web 1.0 by adding dynamic web pages – the user is able to see a website differently
than others. Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services and
web applications. Web 2.0 allow users to interact with the page, the user may be able to comment or create a user
account. Most websites that we visit today are Web 2.0

Features of Web 2.0


1. Folksonomy - allow users to categorize and classify/arrange information using freely chosen keywords (e.g.,
tagging). Popular social networking sites such as Twitter, IG and FB use tags that start with pound sign (#).
This is also referred to as hashtag.

2. Rich User Experience - 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.

3. User Participation – the owner of the website is not the only one who is able to put content. Others are able
to place a content of their own by means of comments, reviews, and evaluation. Some websites allow readers
to comment on an article, participate in a poll, or review a specific product (e.g., Amazon.com, online stories)

4. Long Tail – services that 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 in the internet.

5. Software as a Service

Web 3.0 and the Semantic Web


The semantic web is a movement led by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The semantic web provides a
common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries.
The semantic web is a component for Web 3.0
The aim of web 3.0 is to have machines (or servers) understand the user’s preferences to be able to deliver web
content specifically targeting the user. Web 3.0 is yet to be fully recognized because of several problems:
1. Compatibility – HTML files and current web browsers could not support Web 3.0
2. Security – The user’s security is also in question since the machine is saving his or her preferences.
3. Vastness – The World Wide Web already contains billions of web pages.
4. Vagueness – Certain words are imprecise.
5. Logic – there are certain limitations for a computer to be able to predict what the user is referring to at a given
time.
