TASK 2: READ AND COMPREHEND
How many times have you checked your phone this morning? How many status updates have you posted in
Facebook or Twitter today? Did you use the internet for an hour after you woke up this morning? Do you follow
celebrity via his/her social media account?
If you happen to be “guilty as charged” in most of these questions, chances are, you are a digital native.
And chances are, from the moment you were born, you were surrounded by technology. You are surrounded by
ICT.

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.
When we make a video call, we use the internet. When we send a text or make a call, we use cellular
networks. When we run out of load or battery, we use payphones which use a telephone network. Having a unified
way to communicate is one of the goals of ICT. In terms of economics, ICT has saved companies a lot of resources
(time and money) with the kind of communication technology they use, nowadays. In a similar way, we spend less
because of ICT. As it normally messages and only be charged by a fraction.

ICT IN THE PHILIPPINES

Several international companies dub the Philippines as the “ICT Hub of Asia”. It is no secret that there is a
huge growth of ICT-related jobs around the country, one of which is the call center or BPO (Business Process
Outsourcing) centers.
According to the 2013 edition of Measuring the Information Society by the International Telecommunica-
tion Union, there are 106.8 cellphones per 100 Filipinos in the year 2012. That would mean that for every 100
Filipinos you meet, there is a high chance that they have a cellphone and approximately for the seven of them,
they have two.
In a data gathered by the Annual Survey of the Philippine Business and Industries, NSO, in 2010, the ICT
industry shares 19.3% of the total employment population here in the Philippines.
To add to these statistics, Time Magazine’s “The Selfiest Cities around the World” of 2013 places two cities
from the Philippines in the top 1 and top 10 spots. The study was conducted using Instagram, a popular photo
sharing application.
With these numbers, there is no doubt that the Philippines is one of the countries that benefits most out of
ICT.

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.
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 referred to as Web 1.0.
However, the World Wide Web is more than just static pages. Pretty soon, Web 2.0 came to the picture.
Web 2.0 is a term coined by Darcy DiNucci on January 1999. In her article titled, “Fragment Future”, she
wrote:
The web we know now, which loads into a browser window in essentially static screenfuls, is only an embryo of the
Web to come. The first glimmerings of Web 2.0 are beginning to appear, and we are just starting to see how that
embryo might develop.

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 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 soft-
ware (or web applications), and even for file storage. Most websites that we visit today are Web 2.0.

STATIC VS. DYNAMIC

Websites are separated into two different types: static and dynamic. Static websites are ones that are fixed
and display the same content for every user, usually written exclusively in HTML. A dynamic website, on the other
hand, is one that can display different content and provide user interaction, by making use of advanced
programming and databases in addition to HTML.
The word static refers to something that is fixed, that doesn’t move or change in any way. This is enough to
understand what a static page is all about. No elements on this page are changed when accessing it. Static
websites are basic pages that require simple code and design elements to create. “Static” also refers to the website
being fixed in terms of page numbers. A fixed number of pages are delivered just the way it is designed and stored.
Conversely, the word dynamic refers to elements that are continuously changing, interactive, and
functional. Instead of being simply informational, dynamic websites include aspects that are characterized by
interactivity and functionality. They are more complex in terms of building and design, but they are also more
versatile.

TASK 1: READ AND COMPREHEND

THE FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

The key features of Web 2.0 include:
1. Folksonomy - 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 (#).
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. Others are able to
place a content of their own by means of comments, 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, Goodreads.com,
online stores).
4. Long Tail - services that 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 data plan that charges you for the
amount of bandwidth you used.
5. Software as a Service - users will subscribe to a software only when needed rather than purchasing them. This
is a cheper option if you do not always need to use a software. For instance, Google Docs, is a free web-0based
application that allows the user to create and edit word processing and spreadsheet documents online. When
you need a software, like 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 allow you to “rent” a software for a minimal fee.
6. Mass Participation - diverse information sharing through universal web access. Since most users can use Inter-
net, Web 2.0’s content is based on people from various cultures.

WEB 3.0 AND THE SEMANTIC WEB

The Semantic Web is a movement led by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The W3C standard en-
courages web developers to include semantic content in their web pages. The term was coined by the inventor of
the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee. Lee also noted that the Semantic Web is a component for Web 3.0.
According to W3C, “The Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and
reused across application, enterprise and community boundaries.” The aim of the 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. For
example, when doing a web search in Web 2.0, the topmost result is based on the preference of several users who
already searched for the item. The search engine then labels it the most common answer to the search query.
Though there are instances wherein several preferences are considered like geographic location, Web 3.0 aims to
do better. This is through studying personal preferences of an individual user and showing results based on those
preferences. The Internet is able to predict the best possible answers to your question by “learning” from your
previous choices.
For example, if you search the Internet for “Where is the best place to go shopping?” Web 3.0 will aim to
give you results depending on how you have made choices in the past. If you have purchased several shoes online,
the internet will give you resukts on the best place with the highest rated shoes around your vicinity.
