WWW(WORLD WIDE WEB)
When WWW was invented, most
web pages were static. Static
(also known as flat page or
stationary page) in the same that
the page “as is” and cannot be
manipulated by the user. This
referred to as Web 1.0.
WEB 2.0
 Web 2.0 allows the user to interact with the
page known as DYNAMIC PAGE; instead of just
reading a page, the user may be able to
comment or create a user account. Dynamic
page refers to the web pages that are affected
by user input or preference.
 EXAMPLES
 Social Networking sites
 •Blogs
 •Wikis
KEY FEATURES OF WEB 2.0
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 a pound sign (#)
or hashtag.
Rich User Interface – content is
dynamic and is responsive to
user’s input. Anexample 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 website is not the
only one who is able to put
content. Others are able to
place a content on their own
by means of comments,
reviews, and evaluation.
Long Tail – services are offered
on demand rather than on a one-
time purchase. This is synonymous
to subscribing to a data plan that
charges you for the amount of
time you spent on Internet or a
data plan that charges you for the
amount of bandwidth you used.
Semantic Web– is a
movement led by the World
Wide Web Consortium(W3C).
The semantic web provides a
framework that allows data to
be shared and reuse to deliver
web content specifically
targeting the user.
WEB 3.0
 YET TPO BE FULLY REALIZED BECAUSE OF SEVERAL PROBLEMS.
 Compatibility-HTMLfiles and current web browsers
could not supportWeb 3.0.

– The user’s security is also question since the
machine is saving his or her preferences.
 Vastness-TheWorld Wide Web already contains billions
of web pages.
 •Vagueness – Certain words are imprecise. The words
“old” and “small” would depend to the user.
 Logic-since machines use logic, there are certain
limitations for a computer to be able to predict what the
user is referring toatagiven time.
TRENDS IN ICT
Convergence– is the synergy of technological
advancements to work on a similar goal or
task. For example, besides using your personal
computer to create word documents, you can
now use your smartphone.

online channel that enables web users to
