1. Information and Commnication Technology (ICT)

Term that describes the general processing and communication of

information through technology. In the case of the current study, it includes
a number of technologies, such as mobile technology; email; two-way instant
messaging; chat rooms; blogs; personal web pages; online shopping rating
systems; download of images, audio, and video; and video games. These
technologies have been classified into the following constructs: ICT use
preferences, Internet use preferences, online media activities, digital
communications,ICT-facilitated learning activities,ICT-facilitated
social/economic activities, and video games.

2. Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence refers to the simulation of human intelligence

in machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions.
The term may also be applied to any machine that exhibits traits associated
with a human mind such as learning and problem-solving. The ideal
characteristic of artificial intelligence is its ability to rationalize and
take actions that have the best chance of achieving a specific goal.

3. Assistive Media

Assistive Media is the Internet's first audio solution for persons with
print reading/access barriers. The audio recordings of the literary works
produced by Assistive Media are now easily accessible, on-demand, to the ever
growing number of persons with disabilities who now use the Internet.
Assistive Media has opened a unique avenue of accessibility for many
individuals with cognitive, physical, and communication disabilities.

4. Biometrics
 Biometrics are biological measurements — or physical characteristics
that can be used to identify individuals. Fingerprint mapping, facial
recognition, and retina scans are all forms of biometric technology, but
these are just the most recognized options.Researchers claim the shape of
an ear, the way someone sits and walks, unique body odors, the veins in one's
hands, and even facial contortions are other unique identifiers.

5. Business Processing Output

A business process is a collection of linked tasks which find their end

in the delivery of a service or product to a client. A business process
has also been defined as a set of activities and tasks that, once completed,
will accomplish an organizational goal. The process must involve clearly
defined inputs and a single output.

6. Convergent Technology
Technological convergence is a term that describes the layers of
abstraction that enable different technologies to interoperate efficiently
as a converged system. From a practical standpoint, technological
convergence encompasses two interdependent areas: technical design and
functionality. Technical design is occupied with engineering the underlying
infrastructure needed to transport digital content.

7.Mobile Media
Mobile devices provide users the ability to communicate with one another
and access media while on the go. Mobile media devices include smart phones,
PDAs and other handheld portable devices. They allow users to access the
Internet and send or receive information from almost anywhere with a signal.

8.Online Service
An organization that provides an information service over the Internet.
Examples are search engines, cloud storage services and application service
providers.An organization that provides access to the Internet.

9. Robotics
Robotics is the study of robots. Robots are machines that can be used
to do jobs. Some robots can do work by themselves. Other robots must always
have a person telling them what to do.

10. Social Media

Social media is computer-based technology that facilitates the sharing
of ideas, thoughts, and information through the building of virtual
networks and communities. By design, social media is internet-based and gives
users quick electronic communication of content.

11. Virtual Reality

Virtual reality is an artificial environment that is created with
software and presented to the user in such a way that the user suspends belief
and accepts it as a real environment. On a computer, virtual reality is
primarily experienced through two of the five senses: sight and sound. The
simplest form of virtual reality is a 3-D image that can be explored
interactively at a personal computer, usually by manipulating keys or the
mouse so that the content of the image moves in some direction or zooms in
or out.

12. Web 1.0
The first iteration of the web represents the web 1.0, which, according
to Berners-Lee, is the“read-only web.”In other words, the early web allowed
us to search for information and read it. There was very little in the way
of user interaction or content generation.

13.Web 2.0
We are now seeing the infancy of web 2.0, or the “read-write” web as
Berners-Lee described it. It’s the ability to contribute content and
interact with other web users. It has dramatically changed the landscape of
the web in a short time. It has much potential. As examples, look at YouTube
and MySpace, which rely on user submissions. Web 2.0 is a welcome response
to web users, who want to participate in the information.

14.Web 3.0
By extrapolating Tim Berners-Lee’s explanations, web 3.0 is
“read-write-execute.” This is difficult to envision in its abstract form.
To illustrate, consider semantic markup and web services.

15.WiFi
Wi-Fi is the name of a popular wireless networking technology that uses
radio waves to provide wireless high-speed Internet and network connections.
A common misconception is that the term Wi-Fi is short for "wireless
fidelity," however this is not the case. Wi-Fi is simply a trademarked phrase
that means IEEE 802.11x.

16.Cloud Service
A cloud service is any service made available to users on demand via the
Internet from a cloud computing provider's servers as opposed to being
provided from a company's own on-premises servers. Cloud services are
designed to provide easy, scalable access to applications, resources and
services, and are fully managed by a cloud services provider.

17. Holography
Holography, means of creating a unique photographic image without the
use of a lens. The photographic recording of the image is called a hologram,
which appears to be an unrecognizable pattern of stripes and whorls but
which—when illuminated by coherent light, as by a laser beam—organizes the
light into a three-dimensional representation of the original object.

18.Internet
The internet is a globally connected network system that uses TCP/IP to
transmit data via various types of media. The internet is a network of global
exchanges – including private, public, business, academic and government
networks – connected by guided, wireless and fiber-optic technologies.The
terms internet and World Wide Web are often used interchangeably, but they
are not exactly the same thing; the internet refers to the global
communication system, including hardware and infrastructure, while the web
is one of the services communicated over the internet.
