Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT)
It refers to the broad spectrum of technologies used
to handle telecommunications, broadcast media,
audio-visual processing and transmission systems,
intelligent building management systems, network-
based control and monitoring functions, and the
integration of these various systems. Essentially, ICT
encompasses the convergence of technologies that
enable the acquisition, storage, processing, and
dissemination of information in various forms,
including text, audio, and video, fostering
communication and interaction across diverse
platforms.
ICT in the Philippines
Several international companies dub the

Philippines as the “ICT Hub of Asia”.
Web 2.0: Dynamic Web Pages
• When the World Wide Web was invented,
most web pages were static.
Static Web – is a type of website that displays
fixed content to all users, with its information
remaining unchanged until manually updated by
a developer.
Web 2.0
Web 2.0 originated as a term to describe a shift in
the way people used the internet, emphasizing
user-generated content, collaboration, and
interactive online experiences. The term was
popularized around the early 2000s to distinguish
this new phase of the web from its earlier static and
information-centric version (Web 1.0). Web 2.0
represents a more dynamic and participatory online
environment, marked by social media platforms,
collaborative content creation, and a focus on user
engagement and interaction. It was term coined by
Darcy DiNucci on January 1999.
Features of Web 2.0
• Folksonomy
• Rich User Experience
• User Participation
• Long Tail
• Software as a Service
• Mass Participation
Folksonomy
• Folksonomy is a combination of "folk" and
"taxonomy." It refers to a collaborative and
informal system of categorizing and organizing
information on the internet, typically through
user-generated tags or keywords. In a
folksonomy, individuals assign metadata (tags)
to content, such as web pages, photos, or
articles, based on their own interpretation or
understanding.
Rich User Experience
• Rich User Experience (RUX) refers to the

quality of interaction that users have with a
digital product or service. A rich user
experience implies that the interaction is not
only functional and efficient but also
engaging, intuitive, and visually appealing. It
goes beyond mere usability to encompass
elements that enhance user satisfaction,
enjoyment, and overall perception of the
product.
User Participation
• User participation refers to the active

involvement and engagement of users in
various processes, activities, or decision-
making related to a product, service, or
community. It is a concept that emphasizes
the importance of including users in different
stages of development, design, or operation
to better meet their needs and enhance the
overall user experience.
Long Tail
• Services that are offered on demand

rather than on a one-time purchase.
Mass Participation
• Diverse information sharing

through universal access.
Web 3.0: Semantic Web Pages
• Is a movement led by the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C).
• The term was coined by the inventor of the
WWW, Tim Berners-Lee
• It focuses on studying the personal
preferences of an individual user and showing
results based on those preferences.

industry has focused on several information's.
