 What’s In It
Online Platforms, Sites, and Content

Do you now agree that ICT has made the world go round? Due to various ICT
innovations, anyone can say that it has changed the way we do things. One of the
changes brought by ICT are the online platforms. The development of these various
online platforms, sites, and content was made possible because of the internet. The
World Wide Web became the interface choice for internet users due to its ease of
use and its multimedia ability to transmit text, graphics, audio, and video and to
retrieve detailed information from anywhere in the world in seconds. Throughout the
development of the web, the following versions were created:

There are various key features of Web 2.0 which include the following:

Folksonomy

This feature allows the user to categorize and

classify information using keywords. Tagging
(use of hashtag “#”) is one example of this
which was popularized by social networking
sites such as Twitter, Instagram, and
Facebook.

 Rich User Experience

This feature refers to the dynamic

content of the website where it responds
to the user’s input. One good example is
when you logged in using your user
account in Facebook, the content that
will be displayed on the page depends
on the content of your account.

User Participation

This feature refers to the ability of

the web to get participation for its
audience. It means that the owner of the
web is not the only one who can provide
the content. Users and other viewers of
the site can comment, provide reviews

and evaluations, and answer a poll.

Long Tail

This feature refers to services that are offered on

demand rather than one-time purchase. At times, users can opt
to go for time-based pricing instead of file size-based pricing or
vice versa.

Software as a Service
This feature allows users to subscribe to software only
when needed rather than purchasing them. It is like renting a
software for a minimal fee.

Mass Participation
This feature allows diverse information sharing
through universal web access. It caters content based on
people from various cultures.

With the three versions of the web presented earlier, Web 3.0 is not yet fully
implemented because of these various reasons:

1. Compatibility – There are various files that could not support Web 3.0 such as
HTML files and other current web browsers.

2. Security – The user’s security can be compromised since the machine is storing
the user’s preferences and searches.

3. Vastness – There are billions of web pages already in the World Wide Web.

4. Vagueness – There are certain words that are imprecise. For example, the
meaning of the words “old” and “small” would depend on the user.

5. Logic – There are certain limitations in logic. A computer may not be able to
predict what the user is referring to at a given time.
Information and Communication Technology Trends

ICT innovations are inevitable. As it continually grows, it had catered the needs of the
people. The following outlines the trends in ICT:

1. Convergence – This refers to the use of several technologies to accomplish a

task conveniently. For example, you can now use your smartphone to edit word
documents and sync files to your personal computers.

2. Social Media – This refers to a website, application, or online channel that

enables you to create, discuss, modify, and exchange user-generated content. It
is classified as the following:

3. Mobile Technologies – This refers to the capabilities of mobile phones similar to
