Information and Communications
Technology
Information
●refers to the ideas or concepts obtained from reading,
investigation, study or research which are transmitted
through media such as telephone, television and
radio. Information is necessary to make decisions and
to predict the future. For example, scientists can
detect the formation of a typhoon using the latest
technology and warn the public to avoid disasters in
the affected areas.
Information and Communications
Technology
Communication
is a means of transmitting messages or sending and
receiving information between individuals using symbols,
signs or verbal interactions. Before, people transmit
messages through signs or symbols and performing drama
and poetry. However, these ‘older’ forms of communication
are less utilized due to the advent of technology like the
use of the Internet, e-mail or video conferencing.
Technology

is the use of scientific knowledge, experience

and resources to create processes and products
that fulfill human needs.
 Information and Communications
Technology or ICT
●deals with the use of different communication
tools such as telephone , mobile phones,
Internet, etc. to locate, save, send, and edit
information. For instance when we make a video
call, we use the internet.
 ICT in the
Philippines
● Philippines is considered as the ICT Hub of
Asia because of the tremendous growth of ICT
related jobs like Business Process Outsourcing,
or call centers. It started with Accenture in
1992 with Frank Holz who was responsible for
developing and marketing the first Global
Resource Center in Manila.
 ICT in the
Philippines
● Annual Survey of Philippines Business and Industries in 2010
revealed that the ICT industry shares 19.3% of the total
employment population. Moreover, according to 2013
edition of Measuring the Information Society by the
International Telecommunication Union, in the year 2012
there were 106.8 cell phones per 100 Filipinos. While Time
magazines declared Makati City, Philippines- Rank 1 as the
“Selfiest Cities around the world, and Rank 9 is Cebu City.
With these statistics, Philippines is indeed the ICT hub of
Asia.
 World Wide
Web
●The World Wide Web, commonly referred to
as WWW, W3, or web is an interconnected
system of public web pages accessible
through the internet, invented by Tim
Berners-Lee in 1989.
 Web 1.0
●Web 1.0 refers to the first generation of the Internet
when most websites were read-only or static.
Webpages are usually just single files in Hypertext
Markup Language (html or htm) format that are
displayed in a web browser when the URL is entered.
Users are merely audiences or readers who absorb
information from websites.
 Web 2.0
●Web 2.0 means the second generation of the
Internet. It is dynamic and focuses on user
participation. There is a give-and-take relationship
between a website and its users, in which the latter
has the power to share different types of
information such as texts, images, sounds, and
videos. This allows for the creation of interactive
application with more real-life uses like online
banking, online shopping, and media-sharing.
 Web 2.0
●When the WWW 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 is a term coined by Darcy DiNucci on
January 1999.
 Web 2.0
●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. Example 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:
instead of just by reading a page, the user may be
able to comment or create a user account.
 Exploration 1.1 Static
vs. Dynamic
●Look for ten websites and classify them as
static or dynamic. What makes each website
static or dynamic? Use the table below.

 Features of
Web
●1. Folksonomy:
2.0
●It is a way to classify and to find information. It
enables users to find information in an organized way,
like tagging photos, websites, or links. Some social
networking sites use tags that start with a pound sign
(#) which is termed as hashtag.
●Ex. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc.
 Features of Web
2.0
●2. Rich user experience
●It has a dynamic and interactive content.
For instance a user can click on an image
of a flower to get more information about
that flower like its growth conditions,
nutrient requirements, and more.
 Features of
Web 2.0
●3. User participation
●It helps with the flow of information between
the user and the owner of a certain website. For
instance, a user can interact by liking,
commenting, or sending reviews to a certain
post or site.
●Example: Amazon.com, online stores
 Features of
Web 2.0
●4. Mass participation
●Allows universal web access from a
traditional internet user to a wider variety
of users of various cultures that leads to
differentiation of concerns.
 Features of
Web
●5. Long Tail 2.0
●Services that are offered on demand rather
than on a one-time purchase. This means user
can either subscribe to a data plan that
charges users for the amount of time spent in
the Internet or a data plan that charges for the
amount only of bandwidth used.
 Features of
Web
●6. Software as a2.0
Service (SaaS)
●Allows the user to subscribe to a software
rather than purchasing them subscribing
and using Google Docs, a free web-based
application, to create or edit word
documents online.
 Web 3.0
●The third version of the internet which is an
upgrade of Web 2.0. Its main characteristics
include but are not limited to:
●1. Real-time
●Events and information are made available
to users as they take place.
Web
3.0
●2. Everywhere
●Internet can be accessed by users in all
places.
●3. Machine learning
●Computers and mobile devices can create
data and make decisions based on the user’s
previous actions.
 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. The term
was coined by the inventor of the World Wide
Web, Tim Berners-Lee also noted that the
Semantic Web is a component for Web 3.0
 Web 3.0 and
the Semantic
●Web
According to the W3C , “The
Semantic Web provides a common
framework that allows data to be
shared and reused across
application, enterprise, and
community boundaries.”
Trends in
ICT
1. Technological Convergence is an evolution of
technological developments that integrate
different types of applications and media to

be used for calling and texting, browsing the
internet or creating a word document using the
smartphone.

rehabilitative devices for people with disabilities and
also includes the process used in selecting, locating,
and using them. It enables people to perform tasks
that they can’t accomplish or great difficulty of
accomplishing it by changing methods of interacting
with the technology needed to accomplish such
tasks.
● Examples of Assistive Media:
