ICT in the Philippines
 Philippines is dubbed as the “ICT Hub of Asia” because of huge
growth of ICT-related jobs, one of which is BPO, Business Process
Outsourcing, or call centers. In a data gathered by the Annual
Survey of Philippines Business and Industries in 2010, the ICT
industry shares 19.3% of the total employment population. When
the internet was fully commercialized in 1995, it has tremendously
impacted culture and commerce, including the rise of near instant
communication by email, instant messaging, telephony (Voice over
Internet Protocol or VoIP), two-way interactive video calls, and the
World Wide Web with its discussion forums, blogs, social

The World Wide Web
 The World Wide Web is an information system on the Internet
that allows documents to be connected to other documents by
hypertext links, enabling the user to search for information by
moving from one document to another. It was invented by Tim-
Berners Lee. The World Wide Web browser software, such as
Microsoft's Internet Explorer/Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Opera,
Apple's Safari, and Google Chrome, let users navigate from one
web page to another via the hyperlinks embedded in the
documents. These documents may also contain any
combination of computer data, including graphics, sounds,
text, video, multimedia and interactive content that runs while
the user is interacting with the page. The Web has enabled
individuals and organizations to publish ideas and information
to a potentially large audience online at greatly reduced
expense and time delay
 Types of Web Pages
  Web 1.0 or The Web. It is the first stage of
the World Wide Web evolution. It is a flat or
stationary page since it cannot be
manipulated by the user.
  Web 2.0 or The Social Web allows users to
interact with the page, the user may be able
to comment or create a user account. Most
website that we visit today are Web 2.0.
  Web 3.0 or Semantic Web. The semantic
web provides a framework that allows data
to be shared and reuse to deliver web
content specifically targeting the user.
Search Engine will learn about you and your
habits from each search you perform and
will gather details about you from your
previous activities like likes and social

WEB 1.0
 Features of 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 EXPERIENCE dynamic content that is responsive to user input
(e.g., a user can "click" on an image to enlarge it or find out more
information)
 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.
 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 AS A SERVICE users will subscribe to a software only when
needed rather than purchasing them.
ACTIVITY 1.2: Where do I belong?
