Lesson motivation Form a group with five members each. Take turns answering the questions below. Answer the following honestly. 1. How many times have you checked your phone in the morning? 2. How many status updates have you posted in Facebook or Twitter today? 3. Did you use the internet for an hour after you woke up this morning? 4. Do you follow a celebrity via his/her social media account? 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 Ict in the Philippines Several international companies dub the Philippines as the “ICT Hub of Asia”. It is no secret that there is huge growth of ICT- related jobs around the country, one of which is the call center or BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) Web 2.0: Dynamic Web Pages 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. Features of Web 2.0 1. Folksonomy – allows users to categorize and classify/arrange information using freely chosen keywords (e.g., tagging). Example twitter. 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. 3. User participation – the owner of the website is not the only one who is able to put content. Othes are able to place a content of their own by means of comments, reviews, and evalution. 4. Long Tail – services that are offered on demand rather on a one-time purchase. In certain cases, time-based pricing is better than file size- based pricing or vice versa. 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. 6. Mass Participation – 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. Web 3.0 and the Semantic Web The Semantic Web is movement led by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). W3C standards encourages web developers to include semantic content in their web pages. According to the W3C, “The Semantic Web provide a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries”. For example, if you search for the best restaurants to visit in a specific area. First, it may look for your previous visits from 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, Web 3.0 is yet to be fuly realized because of several problems. 1. Compatibility. HTML files and current web browser could not support Web 3.0. 2. Security. The user’s security is also in question since the machine is saving his or her preference. 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. Trends in ICT As the world of ICT continues to grow, the industry has focused innovations. These innovation cater to the needs of the people that benefit most out of ICT. 1. Convergence Technological convergence is the synergy of technological advancements to work on a similar goal or task.
