Remember!
ICT is one of the best ways to improve business
sales and it is important for you to know how to use it
your advantage. One advantage is for customers to
share their thoughts with you online, directly on your
web page. That way, the customers would feel that you
are responsive and very open in listening to their
thoughts. But in order to do that, you have to make your
website dynamic.
Web 2.0: Dynamic Web Pages
When the World Wide Web was invented, most
web pages were static.
Static > (also knows 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
Web 2.0 > is a term coined by Darcy DiNucci on
January 1999.
>It is the evolution of Web 1.0 by adding
dynamic web pages – the user is able to see a website
differently than others.
>It 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 > It is 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.
>Examples of Web 2.0 include social
networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites,
hosted services, and web applications.
Features of Web 2.0
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 (#). This is also
referred to as hashtag.
Features of Web 2.0
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.
Features of Web 2.0
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, online stores.)
Features of Web 2.0
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-sized
pricing or vice-versa. This is synonyms to
subscribing to a data plan that charges you for the
amount of time you spent in the Internet, or a data
plan that charges you for the amount of bandwidth
you used.
Features of Web 2.0
5. 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. Software as a service
allows you to “rent” a software for a minimal fee.
Features of Web 2.0
6. Mass Participation– 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 and the Semantic Web
SEMANTIC WEB > is a movement led by the World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The W3C standard
encourages web developers to include semantic content
in their web pages.
Tim Berners –Lee – inventor of World Wide Web. He
also noted that the Semantic Web is a component of
Web 3.0.
Web 3.0 and the Semantic Web
SEMANTIC WEB > according to the W3C, “It is
provides a common framework that allows data to be
shared and reused across application, enterprise, and
community boundaries.”
Web 3.0 and the Semantic Web
>The aim of 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.
Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized because of several problems:

1. Compatibility. HTML files and current web browsers


could not support Web. 3.0.
2. Security. The user’s security is also in question since the machine
is saving his or her preferences.

3. Vastness. The World Wide Web already contains billions


of web pages.
Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized because of several problems:

4. Vagueness. Certain words are imprecise. The words “old” and


“small” would depend on the user.
5. Logic. Since machines use logic, there are certain limitations for a
computer to be able to predict what the user is referring to at a
given time.
Trends in ICT
1. CONVERGENCE
>Technological convergence is the synergy of
technological advancements to work on a similar goal or
task.
>Convergence is using several technologies to
accomplish a task conveniently.
