 INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION
TECHNOLOGY
Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) deals with the use
of different communication
technologies such as mobile phones,
telephone, Internet, etc. to locate,
save, send and edit information.
WEB 1.0:
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. The content is also the same for all users.
This is referred to as Web 1.0.
WEB 2.0: DYNAMIC WEB PAGES

Web 2.0 is the evolution of Web 1.0 by adding

dynamic web pages—the user is able to see a website
differently than others. Examples of Web 2.0 include
social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing
sites, hosted services, and web applications.
WEB 2.0: 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. Web 2.0 also allows users to use web
browsers instead of just using their operating system.
Browsers can now be used for their user interface,
application software (or web applications), and even for file
storage.

 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.

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.
 FEATURES OF WEB 2.0
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, online stores).
 FEATURES OF WEB 2.0
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.
WEB 3.0 AND THE SEMANTIC WEB
The Semantic Web is a movement led by the World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

The W3C standard encourages web developers to

include semantic content in their web pages.
 WEB 3.0 AND THE SEMANTIC WEB
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.”

The aim of Web 3.0 is to have machines (or servers)

understand the user’s preferences to be able to deliver web
content specifically targeting the user.
 Several Problems of Web 3.0
1. Compatibility
HTML files and current web browsers could not support Web 3.0.
2. Security
The user’s security is also in 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 on 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.
PRIVACY
Brave
● Brave is a free and open-source
web browser developed by Brave
Software, Inc. based on the
Chromium web browser. Brave is
a privacy-focused browser, which
automatically blocks some
advertisements and website
trackers in its default settings.
 Storj and
IPFS
● Storj - Cloud Storage
● InterPlanetary File System - is a protocol,
hypermedia and file sharing peer-to-peer
network for storing and sharing data in a
distributed file system. IPFS uses content-
addressing to uniquely identify each file in a
global namespace connecting IPFS hosts
Essentia.one
● Essentia is a masternode
powered blockchain that enables
interoperability and cross-chain
transactions. It is an ‘all-in-one
platform’ that manages all things
crypto.

 TRENDS IN ICT
1. Convergence - is the synergy of technological advancements to
work on a similar goal or task. For example, besides using your
personal computer to create word documents, you can now use your
smartphone.

2. Social Media - is a website, application, or online channel that

enables web users web users to create , co-create, discuss modify,
and exchange user generated content.
 SIX TYPES OF SOCIAL MEDIA:
1. Social Networks. These are sites that allow you to connect with other people with the same interests or
background.
 Example: Facebook and Google+

2. Bookmarking Sites. These are sites that allow you to store and manage links to various websites and resources.
 Example: Stumble Upon, Pinterest

3. Social News. Sites that allow users to post their own news items or links to other news sources. The users can
also comment on the post and comments may also be rank.
 Example: Reddit and Digg

4. Media Sharing. These are sites that allow you to upload and share media content like images, music, and video.
 Example: Flckr, Youtube, Instagram

5. Microblogging. focus on short updates from the user. Those that subscribed to the user will be able to receive
these updates.
 Example: Twitter, Plurk

6. Blogs and Forums. These websites allow users to post their content. Other users are able to comment on
the said topic.
 Example: Blogger, WordPress and Tumblr
 TRENDS IN ICT
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.
KINDS OF OPERATING SYSTEMS:
KINDS OF OPERATING SYSTEMS:
 iOS – use in apple devices such as iPhone and iPad
 Android – an open source OS developed by Google. Being open source
means mobile phone companies use this OS for free.
 Blackberry OS – use in blackberry devices
 Windows phone OS – A closed source and proprietary operating system
developed by Microsoft.
 Symbian – the original smartphone OS. Used by Nokia devices
 WebOS- originally used in smartphone; now in smart TVs.
 Windows Mobile – developed by Microsoft for smartphones and pocket PCs
 TRENDS IN ICT
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.
 TRENDS IN ICT
5. e.g. Yahoo!, Gmail, HotmailCloud computing-
distributed computing on internet or delivery of computing
service over the internet. -Instead of running an e-mail
program on your computer, you log in to a Web e-mail
account remotely. The software and storage for your
account doesn’t exist on your computer – it’s on the
service’s computer cloud.
 TYPES OF CLOUDS
PUBLIC CLOUD allows systems and services to be easily accessible to the general
public. Public cloud may be less secured because of its openness, e.g. e-mail

PRIVATE CLOUD allows systems and services to be accessible within an

organization. It offers increased security because of its private nature.

COMMUNITY CLOUD allows systems and services to be accessible by group of

organizations.

HYBRID CLOUD is a mixture of public and private cloud. However, the critical
activities are performed using private cloud while the non-critical activities are
performed using public cloud.
