INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION
TECHNOLOGIES

✓ Information and Communication

Technology (ICT) deals with the use
of different communication
technologies such as mobile phones,
telephone, Internet, etc. to locate,
save, send and edit information.
TYPES OF WEB
 WEB 1.0
✓ When the World Wide Web was
invented, most web pages were
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 DYNAMIC WEB
PAGES
✓ 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.
FEATURES
OF WEB 2.0
 FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

1. Folksonomy. It 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 the pound sign (#). This is
also referred to as hashtag.
FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

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.
 FEATURES OF WEB 2.0
3. 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
in the Internet, or a data plan that
charges you for the amount of
bandwidth you used.
FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

4. 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 comment, 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 stores).
 FEATURES OF WEB 2.0
5. Software as a Service. Users will
subscribe to a software only when
needed rather than purchasing them.
This is a cheaper option if you do not
always need to use a software. For
instance, Google Docs is a free web-based
application that allows the user to create
and edit word processing and spreadsheet
documents online. When you need a
software, like a Word Processor, you can
purchase it for a one-time huge amount
and install it in your computer and it is
yours forever. Software as a service allows
you to “rent” a software for a minimal fee.
FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

4. Mass Participation. It is a diverse

information sharing through universal
web access. Since most users can use
the Internet, Web 2.0’s content is
based on people from various cultures.
WEB 3.0 AND THE SEMANTIC
WEB
✓ The Semantic Web is a
movement led by the World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
✓ The W3C standard encourages
web developers to include
semantic content in their web
pages.
WEB 3.0 AND THE SEMANTIC
WEB
✓ 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.
 SEVERAL PROBLEMS OF WEB 3.0
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.
 SEVERAL PROBLEMS OF WEB 3.0
4. Vagueness- Certain words are
imprecise. The words “old” and “small”
would depend on the user.
5. 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
• Technological convergence is the synergy of
technological advancements to work on a similar
goal or task.

2. Social Media
• Social media is a website, application, or online
channels that enable web users to create, co-
create, discuss, modify, and exchange user-
generated content.
SIX TYPES OF SOCIAL
MEDIA
a.Social Networks. These are sites that allow
you to connect with other people with the same
interests or background.

b.Bookmarking Sites. These are sites that

allow you to store and manage links to various
websites and resources.

c.Social News. These are sites that allow users

to post their own news items or links to other
news sources.
SIX TYPES OF SOCIAL
MEDIA
d. Media Sharing. These are sites that allow
you to upload and share media content like
images, music, and video.

e. Microblogging. These are sites that focus on

short updates from the user.

f. Blogs and Forums. These websites allow

users to post their content.
 TRENDS IN ICT
3. Mobile Technologies- The popularity of
smartphones and tablets has taken a major rise
over the years. This is largely because of the
devices’ capability to do tasks that were
originally found in personal computers.
DIFFERENT OPERATING
SYSTEM
a. iOS e. Symbian
b. Android f. WebOS
c. Blackberry OS g. Windows Mobile
d. Windows Phone OS
 TRENDS IN ICT
4. Assistive Media- Assistive media is a
nonprofit service designed to help people who
have visual and reading impairments. A database
of audio recordings is used to read to the user.
