 What is It

Look around you? Inside your home and among your family members?
What have you observed? What do they usually do? Do some of them
frequently check their Facebook account? Do they check the news on social
media?

In a digitally connected era, where do you stand? Are you among those
who strive to empower themselves as well as the community with the ways of
technology? Or are you among those who refuse to succumb to the changes
brought by technology.

Technology is a double-edged sword but if you wield it correctly, it can be an

ally. How do you become technologically enabled and empowered?

DEFINITION

A website is a combination of different web pages linked together in a

certain fashion according to the designer’s will and organizational need
served through the same domain name server. The developed website is
prepared and maintained by a person, group or an organization.
A webpage
ICT or Information and Communications Technology is the umbrella that
includes any communication device or application, encompassing: radio,
television, cellular phones, computers, etc.

It is a term that can be easily understood by subdividing the meaning

further into the words that comprise it: information, communication and
technology.

Information is technically referred to as data (once processed in a

computer) which is accurate and timely committed and organized for a
purpose. Communication, on the other hand, is the conveying of information
between two or more people through a specific medium. While Technology is
the acquisition, analysis, manipulation, storage and distribution of information;
and the design and provision of equipment and software for these purposes.

The way we communicate has been greatly influenced by ICT in so

many ways. In terms of convenience, time, and money, ICT paved the way to
these evolutions.

2
ICT IN THE PHILIPPINES
Philippines is dubbed as the “ICT Hub of Asia” because of the huge
growth of ICT-related jobs, one of which is BPO (Business Process Outsourcing
more commonly known as Call centers.

The Department of Information and

Communications Technology is the
executive department of the
Philippine government responsible for
the planning, development and
promotion of the country’s information
and communications technology
agenda in support of national
Figure 1: DICT official logo
development.

WHAT IS WWW?

World Wide Web is an information system on the internet that allows

documents to be connected by hypertext links, enabling the user to search
for information by moving from one document to another.

It is an information space where documents and other web sources are

identified by URLs, interlinked by hypertext links, and can be accessed via the
internet. WWW was invented by Tim-Berners Lee.

Figure 1: Shows the sources/links compiled within a webpage. This will show if
you right click a certain page and select Inspect (CTRL+Shift+I)

3
DIFFERENT ONLINE PLATFORMS OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB
1. Web 1.0

The first stage of World Wide Web when most webs were entirely
made up of web pages connected by hyperlinks more commonly
described as 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.

2. Web 2.0

The evolution of Web 1.0 by adding dynamic web pages—the

user is able to see a website differently than others—and it provides a
deep and rich experience.

This pertains to the current state of online technology as it

compared to the early days of the Web, characterized by greater user
interactivity and collaboration, more pervasive network connectivity
and enhanced communication channels.

3 ideas of the Web 2.0

-Application Platform (provide a service rather than a product)

Example: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram

-Democratization of the Web (refers to the way people access

and contribute to the internet)
Example: Wikis/Wikipedia, YouTube

-Distributing Information (Users will receive updates from any

application)
Example: games, websites, social media

Features of Web 2.0

1. Folksonomy. It 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 the pound sign (#). This is also referred to as
hashtag.

4
 2. Rich User Experience. 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.

3. Long Tail. Services are offered on demand rather than on a one-

time purchase. In certain cases, time-based pricing is better than
file-size-based pricing or vice versa. 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.

4. 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 comment, reviews, and evaluation. Some
websites allow readers to comment on an article, participate in a
poll, or review a specific product (e.g., Amazon.com, Shopee,
Lazada, Zalora, other online stores).

5. Software as a Service. Users will subscribe to a software only when

needed rather than purchasing them. This is a cheaper option if you
do not always need to use a software. For instance, Google Docs is
a free web-based application that allows the user to create and
edit word processing and spreadsheet documents online. When you
need a software, like a Word Processor, you can purchase it for a
one-time huge amount and install it in your computer and it is yours
forever. Software as a service allows you to “rent” a software for a
minimal fee.

6. Mass Participation. It is a 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.

3. Web 3.0

This platform is all about semantic web. Semantic Web is a

movement led by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

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.”

5
 The aim of Web 3.0 is to have servers (machines) understand the user’s
preferences to be able to deliver web content specifically targeting the user.
For example, while using social media, have you experienced being shown
advertisements, pages or groups similar to what king of ads, groups and
pages you usually interacted with or liked. It’s labeled as based on groups or
pages you liked.

TRENDS IN ICT

1. CONVERGENCE Technological convergence is the

synergy of technological
advancements to work on a similar
goal or task.

2. SOCIAL MEDIA Social media is a website,

application, or online channels that
enable web users to create, co-
create, discuss, modify, and
exchange user-generated content.

6 TYPES OF SOCIAL MEDIA

1. Social Networks. that allow you to connect with other people of

the same interest or background. Example: Facebook, Google+
2. Bookmarking Sites. These are sites that allow you to store and
manage links to various websites and resources. Example:
Pinterest
3. Social News. These are sites that allow users to post their own
news items or links to other news sources. Example: Reddit, Digg
4. Media Sharing. These are sites that allow you to upload and
share media content like images, music, and video. Example:
YouTube, Instagram
5. Microblogging. These are sites that focus on short updates from
the user. Example: Twitter
6. Blogs and Forums. These websites allow users to post their
content. Example: Blogger, WordPress, Tumblr

6
 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.

a. iOS – used in Apple devices such as iPhone and iPad

b. Android – an open source OS developed by Google. Open source

means mobile companies use this for free.

c. Blackberry OS – used in Blackberry devices.

d. Windows Phone OS – a closed source and proprietary operating system
developed by Microsoft.

e. Symbian – the original smartphone OS used by Nokia devices.

f. WebOS – originally used in smartphones, now used in smart TVs.

g. Windows Mobile – developed by Microsoft for smartphones and pocket

PCs.

4. ASSISTIVE MEDIA 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.

5. CLOUD COMPUTING Distributed computing on the

internet or delivery of computing
service over the internet. Example:
Gmail, Yahoo!
