INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION
TECHNOLOGY
ARE YOU A DIGITAL NATIVE? LET’S FIND
OUT.
Directions: 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?
• 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.
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.
WHAT IS WWW?
• 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.
EXAMPLES OF WEBSITES IN WEB 1.0
WEB 2.0
term used to describe the present generation of the World Wide Web that
concentrates on its capability of providing people the means to collaborate and share
information online.
The second stage in World Wide Web
 Dynamic Website
o The content of the website changes
 Interactive
o The user may be able to comment or create user account
WEB 2.0
enables an increased user participation in the web

 Darcy DiNucci, an information architecture consultant, coined the
term Web 2.0 in her 1999 article, “Fragmented Future”.
 The term was popularized by Tim O'Reilly and Dale Dougherty at
the O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 Conference in late 2004 (TechTarget,
2015).
EXAMPLES OF 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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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

several innovations. These innovations cater to the needs of the
people that benefit most out of ICT. Whether it is for business or
personal use, these trends are current front runners in the innovation
of ICT.
1. CONVERGENCE
Technological convergence is the combination of two or more

different entities of technologies to create a new single device.
Example: Using of smartphone to create word documents that was
previously can only be created using desktop computer.
2. SOCIAL MEDIA
• It is a website, application, or online channel that

enables web users to create, co-create, modify, and
exchange user-generated content.
