information through telecommunications.
 It is similar to Information Technology (IT), but focuses primarily on
communication technologies.
 This includes the Internet, wireless networks, cell phones, and other
communication mediums.
 Modern information and communication technologies have created a "global
village," in which people can communicate with others across the world as if they
were living next door.
 For this reason, ICT is often studied in the context of how modern
communication technologies affect society.

WORLD WIDE WEB (WWW)

Web pages are what make up the world wide web. These documents are written
in HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) and are translated by your web browser.
Web pages can either be static or dynamic.
4
Types of Web Pages:
o Static Web Pages - show the same content each time they are viewed.

o Dynamic Web Pages – are webpages that have content that can change each time
they are accessed

Evolution of Web Pages:


Web 1.0 - when Tim Berners-Lee created Internet, most web pages were STATIC WEB
PAGE. Static (also known as flat page or stationary page) in the same that the page “as
is” and cannot be manipulated by the user.

Web 2.0 - allows the user to interact with the page known as DYNAMIC WEB PAGE;
instead of just reading a page, the user may be able to comment or create a user account.
Dynamic page refers to the web pages that are affected by user input or preference.

Examples of Web 2.0: Social Networking Sites, Blogs, Wikis, Video Sharing Sites,
Hosted Services, and Web Applications.

Key Features of Web 2.0:


Folksonomy – 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 a pound sign
(#) or hashtag.

Rich User Interface – 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 website is not the only one who is able to put
content. Others are able to place a content on their own by means of comments,
reviews, and evaluation.

Long Tail – services 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 on Internet or a data plan that charges you for the
amount of bandwidth you used.

Software as a Service - users will subscribe to software only when needed


rather than purchasing them.

Mass Participation - diverse information sharing through universal web access.

Web 3.0 and the Semantic Web


Semantic Web– is a movement led by the World Wide Web Consortium(W3C).
The semantic web provides a framework that allows data to be shared and reuse
to deliver web content specifically targeting the user.

Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized because of several problems:


1. Compatibility-HTML files and current web browsers could not support 4
Web 3.0.

2. Security – The user’s security is also question since the machine is saving
his or her preferences.
3. Vastness-The World Wide Web already contains billions of web pages.
4. Vagueness – Certain words are imprecise. The words “old” and “small”
would depend to 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.
