EMPOWERMENT TECHNOLOGIES Information and Communication Technology Lesson 1  Lesson Objective After going through this lesson, you are expected to: 1. Differentiate Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and 3.0; and 2. Compare and contrast the nuances of varied online platforms, sites and content. Are you a Digital Native? Answer the following questions honestly. 1. How many times have you checked your phone this 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?  DIGITAL NATIVE Digital Native is a person born or brought up during the age of digital technology and therefore familiar with computers and the Internet from an early age.  WHAT IS INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY OR ICT? It deals with the use of different communication technologies such as mobile phones, Internet and etc. to locate, save, send, and edit information.  World Wide Web The World Wide Web, commonly referred to as WWW, W3, or simply the Web is an interconnected system of public webpages accessible through the Internet. It was invented Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. Web pages are what make up the world wide web and it can either be static or dynamic.  WEB 1.0 Web pages are static and not interactive. You can’t post comments or create an account. WEB 1.0: WEB 1.0:  WEB 2.0 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. 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. Most websites that we visit today are Web 2.0. WEB 2.0  Features of Web 2.0 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.  Features of Web 2.0 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.  Features of Web 2.0 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, Wiki).  Features of Web 2.0 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.  Features of Web 2.0 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.  Features of Web 2.0 For instance, Google Docs is a free web-based application that allows the user to create and edit word processing and spreadsheet documents online. 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.  WEB 3.0 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 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  Trends in ICT Convergence Technological convergence is the combination of two or more different entities of technologies together to a single device. Example: Using of smartphone to create word documents that was previously can only be created using desktop computer.  Trends in ICT Social Media It is a website, application, or online channel that enables web users to create, co-create, modify, and exchange user-generated content. Examples: Blogger, WordPress, Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc.  Trends in ICT 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. Different types of mobile operating systems: 1. iOS – used in Apple devices such as the iPhone and iPad 2. Android – an open-source operating system developed by Google. Being open source means several mobile phone companies use this OS for free. 3. Blackberry OS – used in blackberry devices 4. Symbian – the original smartphone OS used by Nokia devices 5. WebOS – originally used for smartphones; now used for smartTVs 6. Windows Mobile – a closed source and proprietary operating system developed by Microsoft for smartphones and pocket PCs.  Trends in ICT Assistive Media It 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.  Activity 1 In two (2) paragraphs, what is your own opinion on the importance of being a computer literate?
