What is Information and Communication Technology?

According to UNESCO’s International Institute for

Educational Planning (IIEP), ICT can be defined as a diverse
set of technological tools and resources used to transmit,
store, create, share or exchange information

What is Information and Communication Technology?

These technological tools and resources include

computers, the Internet (websites, blogs and emails), live
broadcasting technologies (radio, television and
webcasting), recorded broadcasting technologies
(podcasting, audio and video players, and storage devices)
and telephony (fixed or mobile, satellite, visio/video-
conferencing, etc.).

https://learningportal.iiep.unesco.org/en/glossary/information-and-communication-technologies-ict
One of the goals of ICT is having a unified
way of communication.
 UNIFIED
Unify
make or become united, uniform, or
whole.

W 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 by Sir Tim Bernes-Lee in 1989.

Web pages are what make up the world wide web and it can
either be static or dynamic.
 World Wide Web vs Internet
The world wide web, or web for short, are the pages you
see when you're at a device and you're online. But the
internet is the network of connected computers that the
web works on, as well as what emails and files travel
across. Think of the internet as the roads that connect
towns and cities together.

 History of the Internet
The Internet started in the 1960s as a way for government
researchers to share information. Computers in the '60s were
large and immobile and in order to make use of information
stored in any one computer, one had to either travel to the site
of the computer or have magnetic computer tapes sent through
the conventional postal system.

 History of the Internet
Another catalyst in the formation of the Internet was the heating up of the Cold War.
The Soviet Union's launch of the Sputnik satellite spurred the U.S. Defense
Department to consider ways information could still be disseminated even after a
nuclear attack. This eventually led to the formation of the ARPANET (Advanced
Research Projects Agency Network), the network that ultimately evolved into what
we now know as the Internet.

 History of the Internet
January 1, 1983 is considered the official birthday of the Internet. Prior to this, the
various computer networks did not have a standard way to communicate with each
other. A new communications protocol was established called Transfer Control
Protocol/Internetwork Protocol (TCP/IP). This allowed different kinds of computers
on different networks to "talk" to each other. ARPANET and the Defense Data
Network officially changed to the TCP/IP standard on January 1, 1983, hence the
birth of the Internet. All networks could now be connected by a universal language.

 History of the W3
The development of the World Wide Web was begun in 1989 by Tim
Berners-Lee and his colleagues at CERN, an international scientific
organization based in Geneva, Switzerland. They created a protocol,
HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which standardized
communication between servers and clients. Their text-based Web
browser was made available for general release in January 1992.

 Stages of the
World Wide Web
 Web 1.0

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

Experts refer to it as a read-only web.

 Advantages of Web 1.0

• Lower cost (cheaper hosting because of less

bandwith and server resources than dynamic
websites)
• Faster loading times than dynamic sites
• Developer dependent
 Web 2.0
Used to refer to the current generation of the world wide
web

Concentrates on the capability to provide people the

means to collaborate and share information online.
Advantages of Web 2.0
Dynamic
Interactive
Rich User Experience
User Participation
Software as a Service (SaaS)
Mass Participation
 Web 3.0
Also referred to as the semantic web

Aims to: 1.) have machines understand the user’s

preferences to able to deliver web content specifically
targeting the user; 2.) decentralize data
Advantages Web 3.0

• Greater freedom of speech

• Data transparency
• Decentralization of data
• A.I
 Web 4.0 and Web 5.0

Intelligent Web and

Immersive Web
(bold predictions mainly)
 Web 4.0
Also referred to as the mobile/symbiotic web

Connects all devices in the real and virtual world in

real-time

Relies on the ff. technologies: 1.) Brain-Computer

Interfaces; 2.) A.I; 3.) Internet of Things
 Web 5.0
Announced by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey

Aims to empower users by helping them reclaim control

and ownership of their data through decentralized web
platforms
Trends in ICT
1. Convergence
Is the combination of two or more different
entities of technologies to create a single device

Examples: Word functions in smartphones

2. Social Media

Is a website, application, or online channel that

enables web users to create, co-create, modify,
and exchange user-generated content.
3. Assistive Media

Is a non-profit service designated to help people

who have visual and reading impairments. A
database of audio recordings is used to read to
the user.
4. Mobile Technologies

The overwhelming popularity of smartphones

and tablets are largely due to the device’s
capability to do tasks that were originally done
using personal computers.
Different Types of
Mobile Phone OS
 Operating System
the software that supports a
computer's basic functions, such
as scheduling tasks, executing
applications, and controlling
peripherals.
 Types of
Social Media
 Social Networks
sites that allow you to connect with other
people with the same interests or background
 Bookmarking Site
sites that allow you to store and manage links to
various websites and resources. Most of these
sites allow you to create a tag that allows you
and others to easily search or share them
 Social News
sites that allow users to post their own news
items or links to other news sources. The users
can also comment on the post and comments
may also be ranked.
 Media Sharing
sites that allow you to upload and share media
content like images, music, and video. Most of
these sites have additional social features like
liking, commenting, and having user profiles
 Microblogging
sites that focus on short updates from the user.
Those subscribed to the user will be able to
receive these updates.
 Blogs and Forums
allow users to post their content. Other users
are able to comment on the said topic.
 Video Conference
a live, visual connection between two or more people
residing in separate locations for the purpose of
communication. At its simplest, video conferencing
provides transmission of static images and text between
two locations. At its most sophisticated, it provides
transmission of full-motion video images and high-quality
audio between multiple locations (Rouse n.d.).
FILL IT UP!
