What is ICT?
What is Information and
Communications Technology(ICT)?

◼ ICT is the term that is currently favored by

most business and educational
institutions. The “C” reflects the important
role that computers now play in
communications, e.g., by email, the
Web, by satellite and cellphone(mobile
phone).
◼ The “S” at the end of
communications, which is a
term that predates computer
technology and was originally
associated with Morse code,
radio, and often abbreviated to
“comms.”
ICT in the Philippines
◼ Philippines
as the
“ICT hub of Asia”
huge growth of ICT related
jobs around the country, one
of which is Call Center or BPO
(Business Process Outsourcing)
centers.

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.

CONTENT
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.
Web 2.0
Example

◼ Social networking sites

◼ Blogs
◼ Wikis
◼ Video sharing sites
Features of web 2.0
FEATURES WEB 2.0
FOLKSONOMY allows users to collectively classify and find
information using freely chosen keywords (e.g.
"tagging" by facebook). Tagging uses the pound
sign #, often referred to as hastag.
RICH USER dynamic content that is responsive to user input
EXPERIENCE (e.g., a user can "click" on an image to enlarge it
or find out more information)
USER the owner of website is not the only one who is
PARTICIPATI able to put content. Others are able to place a
ON content on their own by means of comments,
reviews, and evaluation.
Features of web 2.0
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, or a data plan that charges
you for the amount of bandwidth you
used.
SOFTWARE users will subscribe to a software only

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.
◼ 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.
◼ 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.
 Below is a comparison of Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0:

Research Skills
LESSON 3
The Contenders
◼ You’re probably familiar with the two search
engines already, but just for a refresher, here’s
what we’re talking about:

◼ Google: By far the most used search engine in

the world, Google Search has been around
since 1997 and is constantly improving with new
smart results, advanced features, and
integration with other Google products. As of
February of this year, Google currently has
64.5% of the US’s search market share.
◼ Bing: Bing is the latest name for Microsoft’s
search engine, previously called Windows
Live Search and MSN Search.
◼ Bing brands itself as a “decision engine”,
aiming to present results with more real-world
context than just finding text on a page. Bing
also powers Yahoo’s search, which, coupled
with Bing, serves 32.6% of US internet
searchers.
Basic Layout and Features
 Basic Layout and Features
Lifehacker has some great articles where they
try to convince as much as anyone else why
Bing is a serious contender to google. Plus
points include:
◼ Bing’s Video search is significantly better
than Google’s, giving you a grid of large
thumbnails that you can click on to play or
preview if you hover them.
◼ Bing often gives twice as many autocomplete
suggestions than google does.
Basic Layout and Features
◼ Bing can predict when airfares are about to
go up or down if you’re searching for flights
◼ Bing also has a feature where if you type
linkfromdomain:[sitename], it will highlight
the best ranked outgoing links from the site,
helping you out which other sites your
chosen site links to the most.
◼ Also note that Bing powers Yahoo’s search
engine
Basic Layout and Features

◼ Google’s shopping suggestions show up

more often than Bing’s do, and they’re
generally much better. So if you’re trying to
find out which stores carry a certain product,
or where to find the best price online, Google
will be better than Bing.

organizations who endorse the idea that
websites should always have an easy-to-find
and-use “report an error” button. It’s a way of
saying to users that you care about accuracy,
you want to know when you make errors, and
you’re conscientious about fixing them.
Image tools
TinEye

A reverse-image search engine, TinEye

allows you to find out where an image came
from, how it is being used, if modified versions
exist, or to find higher-resolution versions.
TinEye is the first image search engine to use
image-identification technology rather than
keywords, metadata or watermarks. It is free to
use for non-commercial searching.
