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
networking, and online shopping sites. Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that uses
the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to communicate between networks and devices

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
postings and present the answers as per your preferences.

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

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 (e.g., a user can "click"
EXPERIENCE on an image to enlarge it or find out more information)
USER the owner of website is not the only one who is able to put content.
PARTICIPATION Others are able to place 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 users will subscribe to a software only when needed rather than
A SERVICE purchasing them.
