ICT…defined:
❑ Deals with the use of different communication
technologies such as mobile phones, telephone,
Internet, etc. to locate, save, send, and edit
information.
ICT Generations: Web 1.0
❑ First ever invented World Wide Web where most web
pages are static (flat or stationary page) as it stays
“as is” and cannot be manipulated by the user. Its
content is also the same for all users. They are
usually Web pages which are supported by Hypertext
Mark-up Language (html) – the language for describing
the structure of Web pages (W3C 2016).
ICT Generations: Web 2.0
❑ Coined by Darcy DiNucci (January 1991), is an
evolution of Web 1.0 by adding dynamic web pages where
the user is able to see a website differently than
others. (e.g. Social Networking Sites, Blogs, Wikis,
Video Sharing Sites, Hosted Services, & Web
Applications)
ICT Generations: Web 2.0
❑ Features of Web 2.0
▪ Folksonomy: allows users to categorize and
classify/arrange information using freely chosen
keywords (e.g. tagging; use of pound sign: #).
ICT Generations: Web 2.0
❑ Features of Web 2.0
▪ Rich User Experience: content is dynamic and
responsive to user’s input. (e.g. when you log in
to your Facebook account, you’ll be able to see
only whatever is in your timeline)
ICT Generations: Web 2.0
❑ Features of Web 2.0
▪ User Participation: users can place a content of
their own by means of comments, reviews and
evaluation. Some websites may even allow poll
participation and product review.
ICT Generations: Web 2.0
❑ Features of Web 2.0
▪ Long Tail: services that are offered on demand
rather that on a one-time purchase. This is similar
to subscribing to a data plan that charges you for
the amount of time you spent in the Internet.
ICT Generations: Web 2.0
❑ Features of Web 2.0
▪ Software as a Service: users will subscribe to a
software only when needed rather than purchasing
them (e.g. Google Docs is a free Web-based
application for editing online. But when a software
is needed, like Word Processor, you can just
purchase it for a one-time payment and install it
in your computer).
ICT Generations: Web 2.0
❑ Features of Web 2.0
▪ Mass Participation: diverse information sharing
through universal web access.
ICT Generations: Web 3.0
❑ Is composed of a Semantic Web – a term coined by Tim
Berners-Lee, the founder of WWW, to refer to a common
framework that allows data to be shared and reused
across application, enterprise, and community
boundaries. This aims to have servers understand the
user’s preferences to be able to deliver web content
specifically targeting the user.
ICT Generations: Web 3.0
❑ Features of Web 3.0:
▪ Blockchain Technology. Uses cryptocurrency to pay
content producers, who would then earn tokens each
time a user accessed their work.
▪ Ubiquitous Connectivity and Internet of Things (IoT)
Support. Users can obtain data from many apps at any
time and location, enhancing user engagement.
▪ Semantic Web Infrastructure. Search and analysis will
assist in comprehending the significance of words and
developing, sharing, and linking materials.
ICT Generations: Web 3.0
❑ Features of Web 3.0:
▪ Reliance on AI. With AI, it can make proactive,
relevant, and helpful predictions and judgments.
▪ Decentralization. Enables users to trade or exchange
data without intermediaries, lack of ownership, or
damage to user privacy.
▪ Metaverse-support. Enabling of 3D website creation and
incorporating IoT devices at their peripheries.
▪ Redefined Data Ownership. Users own their own data and
monetize it, with payments made directly to blockchain
transaction validators.
ICT Generations: Web 3.0
❑ Features of Web 3.0:
▪ Trustless and Permissionless Controls and
Environments. It purports a trustless environment in
which the decentralized data network protocol has
built-in protections. It no longer requires a third-
party cookies to control your data storage.
ICT Generations: Web 3.0
❑ Problems of Web 3.0:
▪ Compatibility. HTML files and current web browsers
could not support Web 3.0.
▪ Security. The user’s security is also in question
since the machine is saving his or her preference.
▪ Vastness. The WWW already contains billions of web
pages
▪ Vagueness. Certain words are imprecise. (the world
“old” and “small” would depend on the user)
ICT Generations: Web 3.0
❑ Problems of Web 3.0
▪ 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.
ICT Trends: TECHNOLOGICAL CONVERGENCE
❑ Technological convergence
is the synergy of
technological
advancements to work on a
similar task or goal. It
uses several technologies
to accomplish a task
conveniently.

ICT Trends: SOCIAL MEDIA
❑ Social media is a website, application, or online
channel that enables web users to create, co-create,
discuss, modify, and exchange user-generated content.
ICT Trends: SOCIAL MEDIA

comment on the said topic. Forums are typically
part of a certain website or web service.

❑ These are handy devices that are capable to do tasks
that were originally seen in personal computers. The
latest mobile devices uses Fifth Generation Mobile
Network (5G Network) which is designed to connect
virtually everyone and everything together including
machines, objects, and devices (Qualcomm Technologies,
2022).
ICT Trends: MOBILE TECHNOLOGIES
❑ Operating System used in Mobile Devices:
▪ iOS. Used in Apple devices such as iPhone and iMac.
▪ Andriod. An open source operating system developed
by Google. Being open source means several mobile
phone companies use this OS for free.
▪ Blackberry OS. Used in Blackberry devices.
▪ Windows Phone OS. A closed source and proprietary
OS developed by Microsoft.
