ICT in the Context of Global
Communication
• How many times have you checked your
phone this morning?
•How many status updates have you posted in
Facebook, Twitter or Instagram today?
•Did you use the Internet/mobile for an hour after
you woke up this morning?
What is ICT?
• Information Communications
Technology (ICT) is an umbrella term that
includes any communication device or
application.
• ICT deals with the use of different
communication technologies such as
mobile phones, telephone, Internet, etc. to
locate, save, send, and edit information.
ICT in the Philippines
• Philippines as the “ICT Hub of Asia” because
of huge growth of ICT-related jobs around the
country, one of which is call center or BPO
(Business Process Outsourcing) centers.
ICT in the Philippines
• Time magazines declared Makati City,
Philippines – Rank 1 as the “Selfiest Cities
around the world, and Rank 9 is Cebu City.
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.
Example of Web 2.0
•Social Networking sites
•Blogs
•Wikis
•Video sharing sites
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.
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.
Key Features of Web 2.0:
• Rich User Interface – 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.
Key Features of Web 2.0:
• 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.
Key Features of Web 2.0:
• 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.
Web 3.0 and the Semantic Web
• 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 is yet to be fully realized
because of several problems:
• Compatibility-HTML files and current web
browsers could not support Web 3.0.
•Security – The user’s security is also question
since the machine is saving his or her preferences.
Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized
because of several problems:
• Vastness-The World Wide Web already contains
billions of web pages.
•Vagueness – Certain words are imprecise. The
words “old” and “small” would depend to the user.
Web 3.0 is yet to be fully realized
because of several problems:
• 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.
