LESSON

Aside from Ash’s Pokémon creatures, the world of ICT keeps on growing and
evolving, thus the industry keeps on producing innovations that caters the
needs of the digital natives and digital immigrants. When we say “trends”, we
are not only talking about the fashion styles and clothes; but also, we follow
trends in ICT. These are the 4 trends in ICT:

1. Social Media – These are the websites, application, or online channel that
allows the netizens (Internet citizen/web users) to create, co-create, discuss,
modify, and exchange user-generated content such as images, documents, et
cetera with the other netizens. People usually misuses the term “social media”
by referring it to a specific application or website, however,
this is an umbrella term. It means that social media has six
(6) types:

1.1. Social Networks – This type enables the user to connect

with the other user that has same interest, background, Image credit: facebook.com
and/or information. It has rich user experience as the user can personalized
their profile accounts, connect with the other users regardless the distance,
and react and leave comments on other user’s posts (Ex.: Facebook and
Google +).

1.2. Bookmarking Site – This site allows the user to store and
manage links to various websites and resources. Most of these
sites allow you to create a tag that allows you and others to
easily search or share them (Ex.: StumbleUpon and Pinterest).

1.3. Social Media News – Simply known as social news. It is far different from
the traditional news platform. This site promotes sharing
between the news provider and the user, becomes a central
hub for new stories from various other third-party sources to
deliver instant news, and users can interact with the news
Image credit: entrepreneur.com stories by voting, liking, commenting, sharing, et cetera
(Ex.: Reddit and Digg).

1.4. Media Sharing – Do you like to share your selfies, or to

show your self-made film? Media sharing applications enable
user to upload and share media content like image, video, and
music to like, comment, and share by the other users (Ex.:
TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram). Image credit: adweek.com

1.5. Microblogging – Can you say your feelings with just 280
characters? This type of social media focuses on short updates
from the user (Ex.: Twitter and Plurk).

1.6. Blogs and Forums – Unlike the vlog (video log), blog
(web log) user posts their own write ups or narratives such
as review, diary, or journal on their customized website.
Through this blogpost, users can share links to other
websites with the other users, and the others can leave
comment or reaction. On the other hand, forum is a part of
certain website wherein users can hold an online discussion
about a certain topic (Ex.: Blogger, WordPress, and Tumblr). Image credit: dreamhost.com
2. Convergent Technologies – In the past, people can access the applications
and websites through the personal computer. Due to technological
advancement, industry produces devices and gadgets that achieves similar
task or goal with the personal computer. (Ex.: When I was a college student,
I need to rent a computer at the computer shop to finish my type-written
reports and research assignments, but now, I can access, download, and edit
my students’ research through my smartphone.)

3. Mobile Technologies – Similar with the fashion styles, mobile

technologies, such as smartphones and tablets, change and improve not just
yearly, but every time. It becomes popular because of its capability to do tasks
that were originally found in personal computers. Mobile devices use 4G
Networking (LTE) and come along with different operating systems:

3.1. iOs – for Apple devices

3.2. Android – an open source operating
system developed by Google
3.3. Blackberry OS – for Blackberry devices
3.4. Windows Phone OS – a closed source
and proprietary operating system developed by Microsoft
3.5. Symbian – for Nokia devices
3.6. WebOS – for smart TVs
3.7. Windows Mobile – developed by Microsoft
for smartphones and pocket PCs

4. Assistive Media – Have you watch the movie “Unfriended: Dark Web”? The
main character used an assistive media called “Papaya” to communicate with
his deaf and mute girlfriend. This trend refers to a group of software and
hardware devices to help people with disabilities.

 Online Systems, Functions, and Platforms

Due to technological advancement, online versions of information systems

were developed. These online systems are “the process of and tools for
storing, managing, using, and gathering of data and communications in an
organization.”

On the other hand, platforms are any hardware or software to host an

application. These platforms come with the different functions. One example
is the collaborative platforms. It is a category of business software that adds
broad social networking capabilities to work processes. Another
example is the web search engines like
Google, Bing, and Yahoo. Once these
platforms were programmed, it functions
and become a tool.
