Information and Communications Technology

I. Introduction

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) have made an important

contribution to social and economic progress, such as higher jobs and
efficiency, increasing access to better living standards. The term
Information and Communication Technology collectively refers to the
technologies, both software and hardware, that enable humans to
communicate with one another.

This Learning Activity Sheets will help you compare different online
platforms and how to use them properly. Enjoy learning!

II. Learning Competency

This Learning Activity Sheets was designed and written with you in mind. It
is here to help you compare and contrast the nuances of varied online
platforms, sites, and content to best achieve specific class objectives or
address situational challenges. (CS_ICT11/12-ICTPT-Ia-b1).

III. Objectives
After going through this Learning Activity Sheets, you are expected to:

1. explain the current state of ICT Technologies;

2. distinguish the correct web platform to promote social change;
3. display a positive attitude towards ICT Technologies; and

1
 4. display with utmost concern on social responsibility.

IV. Discussion

Information, Communications and Technology Today

We use the Internet when we make a video call. We use cellular networks
when we send a text or make a call. We use payphones or use a telephone
network when we run out of power or battery. One of the purposes of ICT is
to provide a single way of communicating.

In economic terms, ICT has saved companies a lot of resources (time and
money) with the kind of communication technology they use today. In a
similar way, we spend less on ICT. Since it usually costs us a peso to send a
text message or an SMS to the internet, we can send multiple messages and
only a fraction of them will be charged.

The current composition of the ICT network is the fusion of the hardware
equipment, accurate software, GUI and an effective communication network.

World Wide Web

The World Wide Web (WWW) is the system that enables you to access
hypertext documents and other files over the internet. The technology was
proposed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989.

Evolution of the World Wide Web

Web 1.0: Static Web Pages

 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.
 This is referred to as Web 1.0.

Web 2.0: Dynamic Web Pages

Web 2.0 is a term coined by Darcy DiNucci in January 1999. In her post,
“Fragmented Future,” she wrote:

2
 “The Web we know now, which loads into a browser window in essentially
static screenfuls, is only an embryo of the Web to come. The first glimmerings
of 2.0 are beginning to appear, and we are just starting to see how that
embryo might develop.”

 Web 2.0 is the evolution of Web 1.0 by adding dynamic web pages.
 Web 2.0 allows users to interact with the page: instead of just reading a
page, the user may be able to comment or create a user account.
 Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video
sharing sites, and web applications.

Key Features of Web 2.0

It enables users to categorize and classify/arrange
1. Folksonomy information using freely chosen terms (e.g., tagging / hash
tagging).
2. Rich User Content is dynamic and is sensitive to the feedback of the
Experience user.

3. Long Tail
time transaction.
4. User The owner of the website is not the only one who is able to
Participation publish material.
5. Software as a Users can switch to the application only when they need
Service it, rather than buying them.
6. Mass It is a dynamic exchange of knowledge through universal
Participation web access.

Web 3.0

 The Semantic Web is a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) project. The
W3C standard encourages web developers to include semantic content on
their web pages.
 The aim of Web 3.0 is to make machines (or servers) understand the
user’s needs and be able to deliver user-specific web content in a fast-
paced manner.

Problems of Web 3.0

HTML files and existing web browsers will not be
1. Compatibility
supported by Web 3.0.
The protection of the consumer is also at issue as the
2. Security

3. Vastness The World Wide Web now includes billions of websites.

4. Vagueness

 Given that machines use logic, a computer has some
5. Logic limitations capable of anticipating what the consumer
relates to at any given time.
