Information and Communication Technology or ICT

- deals with the use of different communication technologies such as
mobile
phones, Internet and etc. to locate, save, send, and edit information.
Having a unified way to communicate is one of the goals of ICT.

ICT in the Philippines

- “ICT Hub of Asia” according to some International Companies. It is no
secret that there is a huge growth of ICT –related jobs around the
country. One of which is the Call Centers . It is one of the BPO (Business
Process Outsourcing )call centers.
- 106.8 cellphones per 100 Filipinos, according to 2013 edition of
Measuring the Information Society by the International
Telecommunication Union.

according to data gathered by the Annual Survey of the Philippine
Business and Industries and NSO in 2010.

World Wide Web

• The World Wide Web, commonly referred to as WWW, W3, or simply

the Web
is an interconnected system of public webpages accessible through the
Internet. It was invented Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1989.
• Web pages are what make up the world wide web and it can either be
static or dynamic.

Web 1.0

 Web pages are static and not interactive. You can't post comments
or create an account.

Web 2.0

 It is the term used to describe the present generation of the World

Wide Web that concentrates on its capability of providing people
the means to collaborate and share information online.
 It is the second stage in World Wide Web
 Dynamic and interactive websites
 The content of the website changes
 The user may be able to comment or create user account
 It enables an increased user participation in the web
 Darcy DiNucci, an information architecture consultant, coined the
term Web 2.0 in her 1999 article, "Fragmented Future".
The term was popularized by Tim
O'Reilly and Dale Dougherty at the O'Reilly Media Web 2.0
Conference in late 2004 (TechTarget, 2015).

Features of Web 2.0

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.

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.

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).

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.

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
 It is also called as Semantic Web
 Semantics - ability of Web technologies to understand and interpret
human-generated content
 The aim of Web 3.0 is to have machines understand the user's
preferences to be able to deliver web content specifically targeting
the user.
 The Internet is able to predict the best possible answers to your
question by learning from your previous choices

Trends in ICT

that benefit most out of ICT. Whether it is for business or personal use,
these trends are current front runners in the innovation of ICT.
