Practice 2

With the same group from the previous activity,

research on different websites that fall under Web

28
Technological convergence refers to a state where two or more technology
entities and functions are combined into one device or system.

The 3Cs of technology convergence are computing technology, content

technology, and communication technology.

● The technology convergence in terms of computing technology

refers to the improvements made on electronic devices or gadgets by
combining the functions of two more devices into one gadget.
● The convergence of technology applies to content technology by
combining different media formats such as text, pictures, sounds,
and videos into one multimedia content.
● The convergence of technology in terms of communication
technology is observable with the fast and effective transfer of
information through the collaboration of different communication
technologies like radio frequencies, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi connectivity,
ethernet, and fiber optics.

A web page refers to the individual links or pages of a website that act like the
pages of a book.

Static web pages are characterized by their fixed content, which means that
a web page shows the same content every time it is accessed.

Dynamic web pages are known for being changeable, which means that a
web page’s content can change each time it is accessed.

Web 1.0 was the “read-only phase” of web evolution that is characterized by
static web pages that only display text and graphics on the screen, leaving the
users with limited to no interaction.

Web 2.0 refers to the “writable phase” of web evolution. In this generation of
websites, users can interact with the web pages by filling out forms, posting
comments, or sharing multimedia content on web pages."

Web 3.0 is the "executable phase" of web evolution that employs

technologies such as semantic web, artificial intelligence, machine learning,
and mobile media. 30
