ICT (Info. & Comm. Tech.)
• ICT deals with the use of different
communication technologies such as
mobile phones, telephone, Internet,
etc. to locate, save, send, and edit
information.
• Example: when we make a video
call, we use internet.
ICT in the Philippines
• Philippines as the “ICT Hub of
Asia”.
• huge growth of ICT related jobs
around the country, one of which is
call center or BPO (Business
Process Outsourcing) centers.
ICT in the Philippines
• According to 2013 edition of
Measuring the Information Society
by the International
Telecommunication Union, there are
106.8 cellphones per 100 Filipinos
in the year 2012.
ICT in the Philippines
•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.
ICT in the Philippines
•Time magazines declared Makati
City, Philippines-Rank 1 as the
“Selfiest Cities” around the world,
and Rank 9 is Cebu City.
WWW(World Wide Web)
•When WWW was invented, most
web pages were static. Static (also
known as flat page or stationary
page) in the same that the page “as
is” and cannot be manipulated by
the user. This referred to as Web 1.0.
Example of Web 2.0
•Social Networking sites
•Blogs
•Wikis
•Video sharing sites
Web 2.0
•Web 2.0 allows the user to interact
with the page known as DYNAMIC
PAGE; instead of just reading a
page, the user may be able to
comment or create a user account.
Dynamic page refers to the web
pages that are affected by user
input or preference.
Key Features of Web 2.0:
• Folksonomy – 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 a pound sign
(#) or hashtag.
Key Features of Web 2.0:
• Rich User Interface – 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.
Key Features of Web 2.0:
• User Participation– the owner of
website is not the only one who is
able to put content. Others are able to
place a content on their own by
means of comments, reviews, and
evaluation.
Key Features of Web 2.0:
• Long Tail – services are offered on
demand rather than on a one-time
purchase. This is synonymous to
subscribing to a data plan that
charges you for the amount of time
you spent on Internet or a data plan
that charges you for the amount of
bandwidth you used.
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 reuse to
deliver web content specifically
targeting the user.
Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized
because of several problems:
• Compatibility-HTML files and
current web browsers could not
support Web 3.0.
•Security – The user’s security is
also question since the machine is
saving his or her preferences.
Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized
because of several problems:
• Vastness-The World Wide Web
already contains billions of web
pages.
•Vagueness – Certain words are
imprecise. The words “old” and
“small” would depend to the user.
Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized
because of several problems:
• 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.
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.
