TECHNOLOGY
Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) deals with the use
of different communication
technologies such as mobile phones,
telephone, Internet, etc. to locate,
save, send and edit information.
WEB 1.0:
When the World Wide Web was invented, most
web pages were static. Static (also known 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 is referred to as Web 1.0.
WEB 2.0: DYNAMIC WEB PAGES
4. 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 comment, 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
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. For instance, Google Docs is a free
web-based application that allows the user to create and edit word
processing and spreadsheet documents online. When you need a
software, like a Word Processor, you can purchase it for a one-time
huge amount and install it in your computer and it is yours forever.
Software as a service allows you to “rent” a software for a minimal fee.
2. Bookmarking Sites. These are sites that allow you to store and manage links to various websites and resources.
Example: Stumble Upon, Pinterest
3. Social News. Sites that allow users to post their own news items or links to other news sources. The users can
also comment on the post and comments may also be rank.
Example: Reddit and Digg
4. Media Sharing. These are sites that allow you to upload and share media content like images, music, and video.
Example: Flckr, Youtube, Instagram
5. Microblogging. focus on short updates from the user. Those that subscribed to the user will be able to receive
these updates.
Example: Twitter, Plurk
6. Blogs and Forums. These websites allow users to post their content. Other users are able to comment on
the said topic.
Example: Blogger, WordPress and Tumblr
TRENDS IN ICT
3. Mobile Technologies
The popularity of smartphones and tablets has
taken a major rise over the years. This is largely
because of the devices’ capability to do tasks that
were originally found in personal computers.
KINDS OF OPERATING SYSTEMS:
KINDS OF OPERATING SYSTEMS:
iOS – use in apple devices such as iPhone and iPad
Android – an open source OS developed by Google. Being open source
means mobile phone companies use this OS for free.
Blackberry OS – use in blackberry devices
Windows phone OS – A closed source and proprietary operating system
developed by Microsoft.
Symbian – the original smartphone OS. Used by Nokia devices
WebOS- originally used in smartphone; now in smart TVs.
Windows Mobile – developed by Microsoft for smartphones and pocket PCs

4. Assistive Media
Assistive media is a nonprofit service designed to
help people who have visual and reading
impairments. A database of audio recordings is
used to read to the user.
TRENDS IN ICT
5. e.g. Yahoo!, Gmail, HotmailCloud computing-
distributed computing on internet or delivery of computing
service over the internet. -Instead of running an e-mail
program on your computer, you log in to a Web e-mail
account remotely. The software and storage for your
account doesn’t exist on your computer – it’s on the
service’s computer cloud.
TYPES OF CLOUDS
PUBLIC CLOUD allows systems and services to be easily accessible to the general
public. Public cloud may be less secured because of its openness, e.g. e-mail
HYBRID CLOUD is a mixture of public and private cloud. However, the critical
activities are performed using private cloud while the non-critical activities are
performed using public cloud.
