ICT in the Philippines
Several international companies dub the Philippines as
the “ICT Hub of Asia”.
It is no secret that there is a huge growth of ICT-related job
around the country, one of which is the call center
or BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) centers.

ICT in the Philippines
ernet is the global system of Interconnected compu
networks that uses
the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP)
to communicate between networks and devices.

The World Wide Web

TYPES OF WEB PAGES
1. 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.
2. 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

3. 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

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

Features of Web 2.0
The key features of Web 2.0 include:
1.Folksonomy – allows users to categorize and classify/arrange in
using freely chosen keywords (e.g., tagging)
such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. u
sign (#). This is also referred to as hashtag.
2. Rich User Experience – content is dynamic and is responsive to
Example: A website that shows local content. In the case of social
when logged on, your account is used to modify what you

Features of Web 2.0
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.
4. Long Tail – services that are offered on demand rather
purchase. This is synonymous to subscribing to a data p
for the amount of time you spent in the internet, or a d
you for the amount of bandwidth you used.

5. Software as a Service – users will subscribe to a softwa
rather than purchasing them.

ONLINE PLATFORMS AND SITES
Because of the wide capacity of Web 2.0, it has helped in creating
dynamic online platform sites. Online platform is a specially
developed platform using Internet technology. Online platforms have
revolutionized access to any information. Online platforms currently
include, but are not limited to:

Reflect on the following questions and answer them briefly
on 1 whole piece of paper.

Web 2.0: Dynamic Web Pages
The Internet has been a vital tool to our modern lives that is why
it is also important to make the best of the Internet.
When the World Wide Web was invented, most web pages were static.
Static (also known as flat page or stationary page) 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.
This is referred to as Web 1.0. Web 2.0 came to the picture.
Web 2.0 is a term coined by Darcy DiNucci on January 1999.

Web 2.0: Dynamic Web Pages
 Evolution of Web 1.0
 users able to see different website
from others.
 allows users to interact with the
page.

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, or a data plan that charges you for the amount of bandwidth you used.
5. Software as a Service – users will subscribe to a software only when needed
rather than purchasing them.
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 and the Semantic Web
The Semantic Web is a movement led by the World Wide
Web Consortium (W3C). The W3C standard encourages
web developers to include semantic content in their web pages.
The term was coined by the inventor
of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee also noted that the Semantic Web
is a component for Web 3.0. According to the W3C, “The Semantic Web provides
a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application,
enterprise, and community boundaries.” The aim of Web 3.0 is to have
machines (or servers)
understand the user’s preferences to be able to deliver web content
specifically targeting the user.

For example, if you search the Internet for “Where is the best place
to go shopping?”
Web 3.0 will aim to give you results depending on how you have
made choices in the past. If you have purchased several shoes
online, the Internet will give you
results on the best place with the highest rated shoes around vicinity.

Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized because of several problems:
Compatibility. HTML files and current web browsers could not support Web 3.0
Security. The 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.
Vagueness. Certain words are imprecise. The words “old” and “small”
would depend on the user.
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
As the world of ICT continues to grow, the industry has focused on
several innovations.
1. Convergence – Technological convergence is the synergy of technological
advancements to work on a similar goal or task.
For example, besides using your personal computer
to create word documents, you can now use your smartphone.
Convergence is using several technologies to accomplish a task conveniently.

Trends in ICT
2. Social Media – is a website, application, or online channel that enables web
users to create, co-create, discuss, modify, and exchange user-generated content.
Six types of Social Media:
1. Social Networks – These are sites that allow you to connect with other people
with the same interests or background.
Examples: Facebook and Google+
2. Bookmarking Sites - These are sites that allow you to store and manage links
to various websites and resources.
Examples: Stumble Upon and Pinterest

Trends in ICT
3. Social News – These are sites that allow users to post their own news items
or links to other news sources.
Examples: reddit and Digg
4. Media Sharing – These are sites that allow you to upload and share media
content like images, music, and video.
Examples: Flicker, YouTube, and Instagram
5. Microblogging – These are sites that focus on short updates from the user.
Examples: Twitter and Plurk

Trends in ICT
6. Blogs and Forums – These websites allow users to post their content.
Other users are able to comment on the said topic.
There are several free blogging platforms like Blogger, WordPress, and Tumblr.
On the other hand, forums are typically part of a certain website or web service.
3. Mobile Technologies – The popularity of smartphones and tablets
has taken a major rise over the years. This is largely because of the
devices’ capability to do tasks that were originally found in personal computers.
Today, the latest mobile devices use 4G Networking (LTE), which is currently the
fastest mobile network. Also, mobile devices use different operating systems:

Trends in ICT
iOS – used in Apple devices such as the iPhone and iPad
Android – an open source operating system developed by Google.
Being open source means several mobile phone companies use this OS for free.
Blackberry OS – used in Blackberry devices
Windows Phone OS – a closed source and proprietary operating system developed by Microsoft.
Symbian - The original smartphone OS; now used by Nokia devices.
WebOS – originally used for smartphones; now used for smart TVs
Windows Mobile – developed by Microsoft for smartphones and Pocket PCs

Trends in ICT
4. Assistive Media – is a nonprofit service designed to help people who have
visual and reading impairments. A database of audio recordings is used to read
to the user.
