 What is ICT ?

ICT deals with the use of different

communication technologies such as mobile
phones, telephone, Internet, etc. to locate,
save, send, and edit information.

 WWW (?)
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.
Is an information space where documents and other
web resources are identified by URLs, interlinked by
hypertext links, and can be accessed via the Internet.
Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web.
 Web 1.0
It is the “readable” phrase of the World Wide Web with
flat data. A static pages, meaning users cannot interact with
the page and the page is in read-only format.
Examples of Web 1.0 applications are shopping carts,
mp3.com etc.
 Web 2.0
It is the “writable” phrase of the World Wide Web with
interactive data. Unlike Web 1.0, Web 2.0 facilitates
interaction between web users and sites, so it allows users to
interact more freely with each other. Web 2.0 encourages
participation, collaboration, and information sharing.
Examples of Web 2.0 applications are Youtube, Wiki, Flickr,
Facebook, etc.

 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 reused to
deliver web content specifically targeting the user.

dynamic applications, interactive services, and
“machine-to-machine” interaction. Web 3.0 is a smarter
version and semantic web which refers to the future. In
Web 3.0, computers can interpret information like
humans and intelligently generate and distribute useful
content tailored to the needs of users. One example of

program can search the web and read what it finds to
you based on your preferences.
