INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS
TECHNOLOGY (ICT)
• Deals with the use of different
communication technologies such to
locate, save, send, and edit information
• Refers to all technology that is used to
handle telecommunication and access
information
• Includes broadcast media, management
systems, and network-based control
• Convergence of several technologies
including internet and wireless
medium.
FAMOUS PERSONALITIES BEHIND THE ICT
• BILL GATES – He introduced Microsoft
• STEVE JOBS – He introduced Apple
• MARK ZUCKERBERG – He pioneered Facebook and
later bought Instagram
• MARTHA LANE FOX – developed last-minute.com.,
an online booking site for airlines, hotels, restaurant
and everything under the sun. Her website relied
heavily on online systems which other websites soon
followed suit.
• TIM BERNERS-LEE – invented the World Wide Web,
an Internet-based hypermedia initiative for global
information sharing.
WEB
GENERATION
WEB 1.0: STATIC WEB
• informational sharing.
• Known as “flat page” or “stationary
page”
• connect information
• cannot be manipulated by the user.
• Examples are personal web sites.
WEB 2.0: DYNAMIC WEB
• Interaction.
• Websites that contain dynamic content.
• Connects people.
• Browsers can be used for their user interface,
application software or file storage.
• Examples are social networking sites, blogs,
wikis, etc.
FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

1. Folksonomy. Categorize
information using freely chosen
keywords (e.g. tagging)
FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

2. Rich User Experience.

Content is dynamic and
is responsive to user’s
input.
FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

3. User Participation. Owner of the

website is not the only one who is
able to put content.
FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

4. Long Tail. Services that are

offered on demand rather than on a
one-time purchase.
FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

5. Software as a
Service. Users will
subscribe to a software
only when needed
rather than purchasing
them. Allows you to
“rent” a software for a
minimal fee.
FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

6. Mass Participation.
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: SEMANTIC WEB
• Immersion
• Connect knowledge.
• More connected, open and intelligent with semantic
web technologies, distributed databases, natural
language processing, machine learning, machine
reasoning and autonomous agents.
• Examples are semantic blog.
WEB 3.0: SEMANTIC WEB
• It is a movement led by the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C).
• The term was coined by the inventor, Tim
Berners – Lee. He also noted that the Sematic
Web is a component of Web 3.0.
ISSUES OF WEB 3.0
• COMPATIBILITY. HTML files and current
web browsers could not support Web
3.0
• SECURITY. User’s security is also in
question since the machine is saving
his or her preferences.
• VASTNESS. The World Wide Web
already contains billions of web pages.
ISSUES OF WEB 3.0
• VAGUENESS. Certain words are
imprecise. The words “old” and “small”
would depend on the user.
• LOGIC. Since machine use logic, there
are certain limitations for a computer to
be able to predict what the user is
referring to at a given time.
