TERMINOLOGIES:
Digital Native - is a person born or brought up during the age of digital technology and is therefore familiar with computers and the
Internet from an early age.
Information and Communications Technology - deals with the use of different communication technologies such as mobile phones,
telephone, the Internet, etc., to locate, save, send, and edit information.
The World Wide Web and Trends in Information and Communications Technology
THE WORLD WIDE WEB, commonly referred to as WWW, W3, or simply the Web, is an interconected system of public webpages accessible
through the Internet.
• Was invented by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989.
• Web pages make up the world wide web and it can either be static or dynamic.
Website Web Page
Web 1.0 and its characteristics:

• Website pages are static. The pages do not allow interactivity with the users.
• Websites do not embed questbook in the content page. Comments and feedback are directed to a guest book, unlike now
that it can be directly done in the page content.

The term Web 2.0 was coined by Darcy DiNucci in 1999. Webpages are dynamic. They are interactive and the user may be able
to comment or create a user account.
• Folksonomy. It allows the users to categorize and classify/arrange information using freely chosen keywords (e.g. tagging).
Popular social networking sites such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. use tags that start with the pound sign (#). This is
also referred to as hashtag.
• Rich User Experience. Content is dynamic and is responsive to user's input. An example would be a website that shows local
content. In the case of social networking sites, when logged in, your account is used to modify what you see in their website.
• User Participation. Others are able to place a content of their own by means of comment, reviews, and evaluation. Some
websites allow readers to comment on an article, participate in a poll, or review a specific product (e.g. Lazada, Shopee).
• Software as Service. Users will subscribe to a software only when needed rather than purchase them. E.g., Google Docs is a
free web-based application that allows the user to create and edit word processing and spreadsheet documents online. MS
Word on the contrary needs to be purchased.
• Mass Participation. It is a 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.

Gavin Wood coined the term Web 3.0 in 2014, 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 that will 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”.
