What Is It

As a student, you would realize the necessity of Internet today.

The Current State of ICT technologies

• Web 2.0,
• Wed 3.0
• Convergent technologies
• Social, mobile, and assistive media

The Internet has been a forceful tool to the current situation of our
lives that is why it is very significant to make the best of the Internet. Web
1.0 is a term created to differentiate the first stage of World Wide Web (WWW)
in comparison with the present stage of the Internet. When the World Wide
Web has developed, most web pages were static which is also known as flat
page or stationary page which is the page is “as is” and cannot be operated
by the user.
Around year 2004 the term Web 2.0 was first used to
differentiate the current internet technology with the past
technology. At this stage, it is the beginning of social
media like Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube are wide use
and popular. The users can interact, contribute, and
create their own internet space and content resulting to

11/12 Empowerment Technology 9 DepED-Division of Lapu-Lapu City

 explosion of information available for everyone on the net. The Internet is now
a means to interact and communicate with people in a virtual community.

Web 3.0 is called and referred to by web experts as

sematic web or data driven web content and response.
The context of the search of the user is processed by a
programming language to help the user by presenting
options of what the person is interested in as they
interact, responds, contributes, and collaborates on the
web. For example, is when you search for the best restaurant to visit in a
specific area, it may look for your previous visits from other restaurants and
if you have rated them whether good or bad. In view, Web 3.0 will search for
restaurants that have a similar menu, good rating, and budget that fit your
preference in the past. Web 3.0 will not make obsolete or change Web 2.0 but
simply describes an additional use of data created by the users and the use
of enormous data available on the net.

console, video or radio playback, display photos, browse websites and stream
various applications and data from the Internet.
