Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
- ICT integrates various communication technologies, including mobile phones, telephones, and the Internet, for locating, saving, sending, and editing information.
Web Development Eras
- Web 1.0: Characterized by static web pages, where content remains unchanged for all users; users cannot manipulate the page.
