A. Background Information for Learners (Readings/Discussions)

ICT in the Philippines
Philippines is dubbed as the “ICT Hub of Asia” because of huge growth of ICT-
related jobs, one of which is Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) or call centers. In a
data gathered by the Annual Survey of Philippines Business and Industries in 2010, the
ICT industry shares 19.3% of the total employment population.
When the internet was fully commercialized in 1995, it has tremendously
impacted culture and commerce, including the rise of near instant communication by
email, instant messaging, telephony (Voice over Internet Protocol or VoIP), two-way
interactive video calls, and the World Wide Web with its discussion forums, blogs, social
networking, and online shopping sites. Internet is the global system of interconnected
computer networks that uses Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
suite to communicate between networks and devices.

The World Wide Web

The World Wide Web is an information system on the Internet that allows
documents to be connected to other documents by hypertext links, enabling the user to
search for information by moving from one document to another. It was invented by Tim-
Berners Lee. The World Wide Web browser software, such as Microsoft's Internet
Explorer/Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Apple's Safari, and Google Chrome, let users
navigate from one web page to another via the hyperlinks embedded in the documents.
These documents may also contain any combination of computer data, including
graphics, sounds, text, video, multimedia and interactive content that runs while the
user is interacting with the page. The web has enabled individuals and organizations to
publish ideas and information to a potentially large audience online at greatly reduced
expense and time delay.

Types of Web Pages

a) Web 1.0 It is the “readable” phrase of the World Wide Web with flat data. In Web
1.0, there is only limited interaction between sites and web users. Web 1.0 is
simply an information portal where users passively receive information without
being given the opportunity to post reviews, comments, and feedback.
b) Web 2.0 It is the “writable” phrase of the World Wide Web with interactive data.
Unlike Web 1.0, Web 2.0 facilitates interaction between web users and sites, so it

1|Empowerment Technologies/Self-Learning Home Task #1

 allows users to interact more freely with each other. Web 2.0 encourages
participation, collaboration, and information sharing. Examples of Web 2.0
applications are Youtube, Wiki, Flickr, Facebook, and so on.
c) Web 3.0 It is the “executable” phrase of Word Wide Web with dynamic
applications, interactive services, and “machine-to-machine” interaction. Web 3.0
is a semantic web, which refers to the future. In Web 3.0, computers can interpret
information like humans and intelligently generate and distribute useful content
tailored to the needs of users. One example of Web 3.0 is Tivo, a digital video
recorder. Its recording program can search the web and read what it finds to you
based on your preferences.
