INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
___________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is an extensional term for Information
Technology (IT) that stresses the role of unified communications and the integration
of telecommunications (telephone lines and wireless signals) and computers, as well as
necessary enterprise software, middleware, storage, and audio-visual systems, that enable users to
access, store, transmit, and manipulate information.
The term ICT is also used to refer to the convergence of audio-visual and telephone
networks with computer networks through a single cabling or link system.
ICT is a broad subject and the concepts are evolving. It covers any product that will store,
retrieve, manipulate, transmit, or receive information electronically in a digital form (e.g., personal
computers, digital television, email, or robots).

LESSON 1.1 THE CURRENT STATE OF ICT TECHNOLOGIES AND THE INTERNET
The web is a wonderful place. It connects

people from across the globe, keeps us
updated with our friends and family, and
creates revolutions never before seen in
our lifetime. It has certainly come a long
way since its humble beginnings back in
the early 1980's when it was invented by
Sir Tim Berners-Lee. The World Wide
Web evolved since then.

Web
KEY FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

1. Folksonomy – allows the user to categorize and classify/arrange information using freely
chosen keywords. Popular social networking sites such as Twitter, Instagram and
Facebook uses tags that start with the pound sign (#) which is also called HASHTAG.
2. Rich user experience – the content is dynamic and is responsive to user’s input. An
example would be Google Chrome. It’s just a BROWSER where user could just browse the
web and nothing more could be done.
3. User Participation – the owner of the website is not the only one who is able to put
content. Wikipedia (https://www.wikipedia.org/) is a good example.
4. Long tail – these are services that are offered on demand rather than on a one time
purchase. This is similar to subscribing to a data plan that charges you on the amount of
time spent on the internet.
5. Software as a service – users will subscribe to a software only when needed rather than
purchasing them. Good examples are Microsoft products. You can subscribe to Microsoft
Office to use for 1 year and renew it as you need it after.
6. Mass participation – diverse information sharing through universal web access. Web 2.0
encourages mass participation in the forms of tags, comments, and linkages.
