ICT
Take turns answering the questions below. Answer
the following honestly.
• How many times have you checked your phone

• Did you use the Internet for an hour after you
woke up this morning?
• Do you follow a celebrity via his/her social media
account?
• If YOU were found to be “guilty as
charged” in most of these questions,
chances are, you are a digital native.
And chances are, from the moment
you were born, you were surrounded
by technology. You are surrounded
by ICT.
• As the popular saying goes, “Love makes the
world go round.” But before you start looking
for someone to fall in love with; you could
argue how the internet has made the world go
round for decades. Likewise in the motivation

Communication Technologies have improved
our lives in such a short period of time.

 Web 2.0 Dynamic Web Pages
Web page is a hypertext document connected to the World Wide
Web. It is a document that is suitable for the World Wide Web.
The different online platforms of World Wide Web:
1. Web 1.0 – refers to the first stage in the World Wide Web, which
was entirely made up of the Web pages connected by hyperlinks.

2. Web 2.0 – is the evolution of Web 1.0 by adding dynamic pages.

The user is able to see a website differently than others.
– Allows users to interact with the page; instead of just reading the
page, the user may be able to comment or create user account.

3. Web 3.0 – this platform is all about semantic web.

– Aims to have machines (or servers) understand the user’s
preferences to be able to deliver web content.
• Static Web Page- is known as a flat page or
stationary age 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 that is
referred to as Web 1.0
•
Dynamic Web Pages- web 2.0 is the evolution of
web 1.0 by adding dynamic web pages. The user
is able to see website differently than others e.g.
social networking sites, wikis, video sharing sites.
 FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

1. Folksonomy- allows user to categorize and classify

information using freely chosen keywords e.g. tagging by
FB, Twitter, use tags that start with the sign #, referred to
as hashtag.
2. Rich User Experience – content is dynamic and is
responsive to user’s input
3. 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 comments,
reviews and evaluation e.g. Lazada, Amazon.
 FEATURES OF WEB 2.0
4. 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.
5. Software as a services- users will be subscribe to a
software only when needed rather than purchasing them
e.g. Google docs used to create and edit word processing
and spread sheet.
6. Mass Participation- diverse information sharing
through universal web access. Web 2.0’s content is based
on people from various cultures.
• The Hyper- Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
is the method used to transfer web pages
to your computer. With Hypertext a word
or phrase can contain a link to another
web site. All WEB pages are written in
the hyper-text mark up language (HTML)
which works in conjunction with HTTP.
 Web 3.0
• It is a group of methods and technologies to allow
machines to understand the meaning - or
"semantics" - of information on the World Wide
Web.
• The semantic web is a vision of information that
is understandable by computers, so computers
can perform more of the tedious work involved in
finding, combining, and acting upon information
on the web.
 Example:
The Question: ”I’m looking for a warm place to
vacation and I have a budget of $3000. and I have
an 11-year-old child.”

 Today’s System, such query can lead to hours of sifting (through

lists of flights, hotel, car rentals) and the options are often at
odds with one another.

 Web 3.0 will call up a complete vacation package that was

planned as meticulously as if it had been assembled by a
human travel agent.
 Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized
because of several problems:
1. COMPATABILITY
HTML files and current web browsers could nit support Web
3.0.
2. SECURITY
The user’s security is also in a question since the machine is
saving his or her preferences.
3. VASTNESS
The World Wide Web already contains billions of pages.
4. VAGUENESS
Certain words are imprecise. The words “old” and “small”
would depend on the user.
5. LOGIC
Since machines use logic, there are certain limitations for a
computer to be able to predict what the user is referring to at a given
time.
 TRENDS IN ICT

advancements to work on a similar goal or task.

devices are capable of using a high-speed
internet. Today the latest model devices use
4G Networking (LTE), which is currently the
fastest.
MOBILE OS
iOS - use in apple devices such as iPhone and iPad
Android - an open source OS developed by Google. Being
open source means mobile phone companies use this OS for
free.
Blackberry OS - use in blackberry devices
Windows phone OS - A closed source and proprietary
operating system developed by Microsoft.
Symbian - the original smartphone OS. Used by Nokia devices
Web OS- originally used in smartphone; now in smart TVs.
Windows Mobile - developed by Microsoft for smartphones
and pocket PCs
