Computer– an electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary
form, according to instructions given to it in a variable program.
Internet– is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the
internet protocol suite (TCIP/IP) to link billions of devices worldwide.
 Means of connecting a computer to any other computer anywhere in the world
via dedicated routers and servers.
 Sometimes called simply ‘’the Net’’, is a worldwide system of computer

networks- a network of networks in which the users at any one computer can get
information from any other computer.
World Wide Web
 An information system on the internet that allows documents to be connected to

other documents by hypertext links, enabling the user to search for information by
moving from one document to another.
 Is an information space where documents and other web resources are

identified by URLs, interlinked by hypertext links, and can be accessed via the
Internet.
 Invented by Tim-Berners Lee
Web Pages
 Web page is a hypertext document connected to the World Wide Web. It is a
document that is suitable for the World Wide Web.
The different online platforms of World Wide Web:
1. Web 1.0 – refers to the first stage in the World Wide Web, which was entirely
made up of the Web pages connected by hyperlinks.
2. Web 2.0 – is the evolution of Web 1.0 by adding dynamic pages. The user is
able to see a website differently than others.
– Allows users to interact with the page; instead of just reading the page, the user
may be able to comment or create user account.
3. Web 3.0 – this platform is all about semantic web.

– Aims to have machines (or servers) understand the user’s preferences to be
able to deliver web content.
Static Web Page- is known as a flat page or stationary age 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 that is referred to as Web 1.0
Dynamic Web Pages– web 2.0 is the evolution of web 1.0 by adding dynamic web
pages. The user is able to see website differently than others e.g. social networking
sites, wikis, video sharing sites.
FEATURES OF WEB 2.0
1. Folksonomy- allows user to categorize and classify information using freely

chosen keywords e.g. tagging by FB, Twitter, use tags that start with the sign #, referred to
as hashtag.
2. Rich User Experience – content is dynamic and is responsive to user’s input
3. User Participation- The owner of the website is not the only one who is able
to put content. Others are able to place a content of their own by means of comments,
reviews and evaluation e.g. Lazada, Amazon.
4. Long Tail– services that 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 in the internet.
5. Software as a services- users will be subscribe to a software only when needed
rather than purchasing them e.g. Google docs used to create and edit word processing and
spread sheet.
6. Mass Participation– diverse information sharing through universal web
access. Web 2.0’s content is based on people from various cultures.
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.

users web users to create , co-create, discuss modify, and exchange user generated
content.

to comment on the said topic.
Ex. Blogger, WordPress and Tumblr

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 the tasks
that were originally found in PCs. Several of these devices are capable of using a high-
speed internet. Today the latest model devices use 4G Networking (LTE), which is
currently the fastest.
MOBILE OS
 iOS– use in apple devices such as iPhone and iPad

 Android – an open source OS developed by Google. Being open source means
mobile phone companies use this OS for free.
 Blackberry OS – use in blackberry devices
 Windows phone OS – A closed source and proprietary operating system
developed by Microsoft.
 Symbian – the original smartphone OS. Used by Nokia devices
 WebOS- originally used in smartphone; now in smart TVs.
 Windows Mobile – developed by Microsoft for smartphones and pocket PCs

visual and reading impairments. A database of audio recordings is used to read to the user.

internet or delivery of computing service over the internet.

-Instead of running an e-mail program on your computer, you log in to a Web

e-mail account remotely. The software and storage for your account doesn’t exist
on your computer – it’s on the service’s computer cloud.
It has three components
1. Client computers – clients are the device that the end user interact with
cloud.
2. Distributed Servers – Often servers are in geographically different places, but
server acts as if they are working next to each other.
3. Datacenters – It is collection of servers where application is placed and is
accessed via Internet.
TYPES OF CLOUDS
PUBLIC CLOUD allows systems and services to be easily accessible to the general

public. Public cloud may be less secured because of its openness, e.g. e-mail
PRIVATE CLOUD allows systems and services to be accessible within an
organization. It offers increased security because of its private nature.
COMMUNITY CLOUD allows systems and services to be accessible by group of
organizations.
HYBRID CLOUD is a mixture of public and private cloud. However, the critical
activities are performed using private cloud while the non-critical activities are
performed using public cloud.
