 LESSON DISCUSSSION

o Information and Communications Technology (ICT) deals with the use of different
communication technologies such as mobile phone, telephone, internet, etc. to locate,
save, send, and edit information.
o It refers to technologies that provide access to information through telecommunications. It
is similar to IT but focuses primarily on communication technologies. This includes the
internet, wireless networks, cell phones; and other communication mediums.

Example: EMPOWERMENT FOR TECHNOLOGIES

 When we make video call, we use internet.

 When we send a text or make a call, we use cellular networks.
 When we run out of load or battery, we use payphones which uses a telephone
network.
 People can communicate in real time with others in different countries using instant
messaging and video-conferencing.
 Social networking websites like Facebook allow users from all over the world to remain
in contact and communicate.

o Having a unified way to communicate is one of the goals of ICT.

o A web page is a document commonly written in HyperText

Markup Language (HTML) that is accessible through the Internet
or other network using an Internet Browser.

o A web page is accessed by entering a URL address and may

contain text, graphics, and hyperlinks to other web pages and
files.

o A program that searches for and identifies items in a database

that correspond to keywords or characters specified by the user
especially for finding particular sites on the World Wide Web.
o Is a coordinated set of programs that goes to every page or
representative pages on every web site that wants to be
searchable and readable.

 LESSON DISCUSSSION

o Tim Berners-Lee is a British computer scientist. He was born in London at June 08,
1955.

o After graduating from Oxford University, Berners-Lee became a software engineer at

CERN, the large particle physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland.

o Berners-Lee saw a way to solve problem – one that he could see could also have much
broader applications. Millions of computers were being connected together through
the fast – developing internet and Berners-Lee realised they could share information by
exploiting an emerging technology called hypertext.

o In March 1989, Tim laid out his vision for what would become the web in a document.
Tim’s initial proposal was not immediately accepted. The web was never an official
CERN project. In fact, his boss at the time, Mike Sendall, managed to give Tim time to
work on it in September 1990.

o By October of 1990, Tim had written the three fundamental

technologies that remain the foundation of today’s web, which you
may have seen appear on parts of your web browser.

o Tim also wrote the first web page editor/browser. By the end of
1990, the first web page was served on the open internet and in
1991, people outside of CERN were invited to join this new web
community.

o Tim moved from CERN to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

in 1994 to found the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an
international community devoted to developing open web
standards.

o He remains the Director of W3C to developing open web standards.

WEB 1.0:

o The internet has been a vital tool to our modern

lives that is why it is also important to make the best
of the Internet.

o When the World Wide Web was invented, most

web pages were static.

o Static also known as flat page or stationary page

in the sense that the page is “as is” and cannot be
manipulated by the use. The content is also the same
for all users.

WEB 2.0:
o Web 2.0 is a term coined by Darcy DiNucci
on January 1999.
o Web 2.0 is the evolution of Web 1.0 by adding
dynamic web pages – the user is able to see a
website differently than others.

Example:

 Social networking sites

 Video sharing sites
 Blogs
 Hosted services
 Wikis
 Web applications

WEB 2.0:
o Web 2.0 allows users to interact with
the page: instead of just reading a
page, the user may be able to comment
or create a user account.

o Web 2.0 also allows users to use web

browsers instead of just using their
operating system. Browsers can now be
used for their user interface, application
software (for web applications), and
even for file storage. Most websites that
visited today are Web 2.0.

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. Some websites allow readers to
comment on an article participate in a poll, or review
a specific product.

o Services that are offered on demand rather
than on a one-time purchase. In certain
cases, time-based pricing is better than file
size-based pricing.

o This is synonymous to subscribing to a

data plan that charges you for the amount
of time you spent in the Internet, or a data
that charges you for the amount of
bandwidth you used.

o The Semantic Web is a movement led by the World Wide
Web Consortium (W3C). The W3C standard encourages
web developers to include semantic content in their
web pages.
o The term was coined by the inventor of the World Wide
Web, Tim Berners-Lee.
o Lee also noted that the Semantic Web is a component
for Web 3.0.
o According to the W3C, “The Semantic Web provides a
common framework that allows data to be shared and
reused application and enterprise.”
o The aim of Web 3.0 is to have machines (or servers)
understand the user’s preferences to be able to deliver
web content specifically targeting the user.

Example:

o When you search for the best

restaurant to visit in a specific area.
First, it may look for your previous
visits form other restaurants and if
you have rated them whether good or
bad. In return, Web 3.0 will search for
restaurants that have a similar menu,
good rating, and budget that fit your
preference in the past.

2. 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.
According to Nielsen, a global information and measurement
company, Internet users spend more time in social media sites
than in any other type of site. With this, more and more
advertisers use social media to promote their product.

There are six types of social media:

a. Social Networks. These are sites that allow you to connect

with other people with the same interests or background.
Once a user creates his or her account, he or she can set
up a profile, add people, create groups, and share content.
