4. At the end of this lesson, the students should be able to:
1. improve their knowledge on how ICT affects their
everyday lives and the state of our nation;
2. compare and contrast the differences between online
platforms, sites, and content;
3. understand the features of Web 2.0;
4. understand the future of the World Wide Web through
Web 3.0; and
5. learn the different trends in ICT and use them to their
advantage.

5. Information and Communication
Technologies
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) deals with the use of
different communication technologies such as mobile phones, telephone,
Internet, etc. to locate, save, send and edit information.

6. 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.
6
7. 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. Examples of
Web 2.0 include social networking
sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing
sites, hosted services, and web
applications.
7
8. 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. 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 (or web applications), and
even for file storage.

10. 1. Folksonomy. It allows 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.
2. 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 on, your
account is used to modify what you see in their
website. 10
11. 3. Long Tail. Services are offered on demand rather than
on a one-time purchase. In certain cases, time-based
pricing is better than file-size-based pricing or vice
versa. 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 plan that charges you for the
amount of bandwidth you used.
4. 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
comment, reviews, and evaluation. Some websites
allow readers to comment on an article, participate in
a poll, or review a specific product (e.g., Amazon.com,
online stores).
11
12. 5. 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 a software. When you need a software, like a
Word Processor, you can purchase it for a one-time huge
amount and install it in your computer and it is yours
forever. Software as a service allows you to “rent” a
software for a minimal fee.
6. 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.
12
13. 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.
13
14. Provides a common framework that
allows data to be shared and reused
across application, enterprise, and
community boundaries.”
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.
14
15. Several problems of Web 3.0
1. Compatibility
HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) files and current web
browsers could not support Web 3.0.
2. Security
The user’s security is also in question since the machine is
saving his or her preferences.
3. Vastness
The World Wide Web already contains billions of web pages.
4. Vagueness
Certain words are imprecise. The words “old” and “small”
would depend on the user.
5. Logic
Since machines use logic, there are certain limitations for a
computer to be able to predict what the user is referring to at a
given time.
16. 1. Convergence
Technological convergence is the synergy of
technological advancements to work on a
similar goal or task.
2. Social Media
Social media is a website, application, or online
channels that enable web users to create, co-
create, discuss, modify, and exchange user-
generated content.
16
17. a. Social Networks. These are sites that allow you to connect with other people with
the same interests or background.
b. Bookmarking Sites. These are sites that allow you to store and manage links to
various websites and resources.
c. Social News. These are sites that allow users to post their own news items or links
to other news sources.
d. Media Sharing. These are sites that allow you to upload and share media content
like images, music, and video.
Microblogging. These are sites that focus on short updates from the user.
Blogs and Forums. These websites allow users to post their content.

18. 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.
a. iOS
b. Android
c. Blackberry OS
d. Windows Phone OS
e. Symbian
f. WebOS
g. Windows Mobile 18
19. 4. Assistive Media
Assistive media is a nonprofit service
designed to help people who have visual
and reading impairments. A database of
audio recordings is used to read to the user.
