III. DISCUSSION OF CONCEPTS
Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
Often deals with the use of different technological inventions like mobile
phones, telephones, computer, Internet, and other devices, as well as software and
applications to locate, save, send, and manipulate information. ICT has greatly
contributed to how easy our lives has been today. Our gadgets have become part of
our necessity that we check on them after we wake up. It made communication
easier. We can use cellular phones that are designed for communicating with other
people even they are miles away from us. It has also assisted us in our work since
there are Internet-based jobs. It has revolutionized our education and in the
modernization of our economy
ICT in the Philippines
Philippines is dubbed as the “ICT Hub of Asia” because of huge growth of
ICT-related jobs, one of which is BPO, Business Process Outsourcing, or call
centers. In a data gathered by the Annual Survey of Philippines Business and
Industries in 2010, the ICT industry shares 19.3% of the total employment
population.
When the internet was fully commercialized in 1995, it has tremendously impacted
culture and commerce, including the rise of near instant communication by email,
instant messaging, telephony (Voice over Internet Protocol or VoIP), two-way
interactive video calls, and the World Wide Web with its discussion forums,
blogs, social networking, and online shopping sites. Internet is the global system
ofinterconnected computer networks that uses the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to
communicate between networks and devices.

The World Wide Web

The World Wide Web is an information system on the Internet that allows
documents to be connected to other documents by hypertext links, enabling the user
to search for information by moving from one document to another. It was invented
by Tim-Berners Lee. The World Wide Web browser software, such as Microsoft's
Internet Explorer/Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Apple's Safari, and Google Chrome,
let users navigate from one web page to another via the hyperlinks embedded in the
documents. These documents may also contain any combination of computer data,
including graphics, sounds, text, video, multimedia and interactive content that runs
while the user is interacting with the page. The Web has enabled individuals and
organizations to publish ideas and information to a potentially large audience online
at greatly reduced expense and time delay.
Types of Web Pages
• 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.

EMPOWERMENT TECHNOLOGY 3
 • 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 Web 2.0.
• 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 present the answers as per your
preferences.
Below is a comparison of Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0:

CRITERIA WEB 1.0 WEB 2.0 WEB 3.0
