Information Communication Technology

Information and Communication Technology deals with


the use of different communication technologies, such as
mobile phones, telephone, Internet to locate, save, send,
and edit information.
Empowering ICT is important for its innovative uses impacts our
daily lives. It has affected our ways of communicating, made our
lives more convenient, and assisted countries towards their
modernization plans.
WEB 1.0 VS WEB 2.0
• 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.

However, the World Wide Web is more than just static pages. Pretty
soon, Web 2.0 came to the picture.
Web 2.0
• Web 2.0 is a term coined by Darcy DiNucci, an information architecture
consultant, on January 1999.
• In her article entitled, “Fragmented Future,” she wrote:

“The Web we know now, which loads into a browser window in essentially static
screenfuls, is only an embryo of the Web to come. The first glimmering of Web
2.0 is beginning to appear, and we are just starting to see how that embryo might
develop.”
• Web 2.0 is the evolution of Web 1.0 by adding dynamic
web pages where the user is able to see a website
differently than others.

Examples of Web 2.0:

• Social networking sites


• Blogs
• Wikis
• Video sharing sites
• Web applications
Features of Web 2.0

1. Folksonomy - Allows users to categorize and classify/arrange information using


freely chosen keywords (tagging).

2. Rich user experience - Content is dynamic and is responsive to user’s input. In


the case of social networking sites, when logged on, your account is used to modify
what you see in their website.

3. User participation - The owner of the website is not the only one who is able to
put content. Others are able to place content of their own by means of comments,
reviews, and evaluation, participate in poll, or review a specific product.
Features of Web 2.0

4. 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 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. Software as a service allows you to rent
a software for a minimal fee.

5. Mass Participation - 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
also called as Semantic Web
Semantics – ability of Web technologies to understand and interpret human
generated content
The aim of Web 3.0 is to have machines understand the user’s preferences to be
able to deliver web content specifically targeting the user.
The Internet is able to predict the best possible answers to your question by
“learning from your previous choices.
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. Several of these devices are capable of using high-
speed Internet. Today, the latest mobile devices use 4G Networking (LTE), which is
currently the fastest mobile network.
Mobile devices use different operating systems:

a. iOS - used in Apple devices such as the iPhone and iPad


b. Android - an open source operating system developed by Google. Being
open source means several mobile phone companies use this OS for free.
c. Blackberry OS - used in Blackberry devices
d. Windows Phone OS - a closed-source and proprietary operating system
developed by Microsoft®
e. Symbian - the original smartphone OS; used by Nokia devices
f. WebOS - originally used for smartphones; now used for smart TVs
g. Windows Mobile - developed by Microsoft® for smartphones and pocket
PCs
Reflect on the following questions and answer them briefly on a one whole
sheet of paper.
1. How dependent have we become on technology?
2. How do the different online platforms help you as a student of your
chosen track?
