- 3. According to Christensson (2010), information and communication technologies have provided society with a vast array of new communication capabilities in the past few decades. For example, people can communicate in real-time with others in different countries using technologies such as instant messaging, voice over IP (VoIP), and video-conferencing. Social networking websites like Facebook allow users from all over the world to remain in contact and communicate on a regular basis.

- 8. • The world wide web, or web for short, are the pages you see when you're at a device and you're online. The internet is the network of connected computers that the web works on, as well as what emails and files travel across (BBC, 2019). The internet could be likened to the roads that connect towns and cities together while the world wide web are the things you see on the roads like houses and shops. • Additionally, Lumsden (2012) describes the internet as a series of huge computer networks that allows many computers to connect and communicate with each other globally. Upon the internet reside a series of languages which allow information to travel between computers. These are known as protocols.
- 13. Features of Web 2.0 • Folksonomy - It allows users to categorize and classify/arrange information using freely chosen keywords (e.g., tagging). Popular social networking sites such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. use tags that start with the pound sign (#). This is also referred to as hashtag. • Rich User Experience - Content is dynamic and is responsive to user’s input. An example would be a website that shows local content. In the case of social networking sites, when logged on, your account is used to modify what you see in their website
- 14. • 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). • 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. • Mass Participation - It is a diverse information sharing through universal web access. Since most users can use the Internet, Web 2.0’s content is based on people from various cultures.
- 15. What is the difference between webpage, website, web browser, web server, and search engine? • Webpage A web page or webpage is a document, commonly written in HTML, that is viewed in an Internet browser. This can be accessed by entering a URL address into a browser's address bar. Also, it may contain text, graphics, and hyperlinks to other web pages and files. A web page is often used to provide information to viewers, including pictures or videos to help illustrate important topics. It may also be used as a method to sell products or services to viewers. Multiple web pages make up a website (Computer Hope, 2020).
- 16. • Website A website is a collection of linked web pages (plus their associated resources) that share a unique domain name. Each web page of a given website provides explicit links—most of the time in the form of clickable portion of text—that allow the user to move from one page of the website to another (Mozilla Developer Network, 2020). Illustration below shows examples of webpage and website.
- 18. • Web Browser The web browser is an application program that displays a www document. It usually uses other internet services to access the document (Tech Differences, 2021). Below are some of the web browsers.
- 19. • Web Server A web server stores and delivers the content for a website – such as text, images, video, and application data – to clients that request it. The most common type of client is a web browser program, which requests data from your website when a user clicks on a link or downloads a document on a page displayed in the browser. A web server communicates with a web browser using the HTTP. The content of most web pages is encoded in HTML. The content can be static, for example, text and images, or dynamic, for example, a computed price or the list of items a customer has marked for purchase (NGINX).
- 20. • The difference between the web browser and web server is that web browser requests the server for the web documents and services while the web server accepts, approve and respond to the request made by the web browser for a web document or services.
- 21. • Search Engine Search engines are answer machines. They are used to discover, understand, and organize the internet's content in order to offer the most relevant results to the questions searchers are asking. They work through three primary functions. One is crawling or scouring the Internet for content, looking over the code/content for each URL they find. Another is indexing. They store and organize the content found during the crawling process. Once a page is in the index, it’s in the running to be displayed as a result to relevant queries. And lastly, ranking as they provide the pieces of content that will best answer a searcher's query, which means that results are ordered by most relevant to least relevant (Muller & Moz Staff, 2021).
- 23. What are the current trends in ICT? • Convergence Technological convergence is the synergy of technological advancements to work on a similar goal or task. For example, besides using your personal computer to create word documents, you can now use your smartphone. It can also use cloud technologies to sync files from one device to another while also using LTE technology which means you can access your files anytime, anywhere. Convergence is using several technologies to accomplish a task conveniently.
- 24. What are the current trends in ICT? • Social Media Social media is a website, application, or online channel that enables web users to create, co-create, discuss, modify, and exchange SM.jpguser-generated content. According to Nielsen, a global information and measurement company, Internet users spend more time in social media sites than in any other type of site. With this, more and more advertisers use social media to promote their product.
- 25. • Six Types of Social Media
- 31. What are the technology trends for 2021? Duggal (2021) presented the top 9 technology trends for year 2021 which are as follows: • 1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is already known for its superiority in image and speech recognition, navigation apps, smartphone personal assistants, ride-sharing apps and so much more. Other than that AI will be used further to analyze interactions to determine underlying connections and insights, to help predict demand for services like hospitals enabling authorities to make better decisions about resource utilization, and to detect the changing patterns of customer behaviour by analyzing data in near real-time, driving revenues and enhancing personalized experiences. Machine Learning the subset of AI, is also being deployed in all kinds of industries, creating a huge demand for skilled professionals.
- 32. • 2. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Robotic Process Automation, or RPA, is another technology that is automating jobs. RPA is the use of software to automate business processes such as interpreting applications, processing transactions, dealing with data, and even replying to emails. RPA automates repetitive tasks that people used to do. • 3. Edge Computing Edge computing can be used to process time-sensitive data in remote locations with limited or no connectivity to a centralized location. In those situations, edge computing can act like mini datacenters.
- 33. • 4. Quantum Computing Next remarkable technology trend is quantum computing, which is a form of computing that takes advantage of quantum phenomena like superposition and quantum entanglement. This amazing technology trend is also involved in preventing the spread of the coronavirus, and to develop potential vaccines, thanks to its ability to easily query, monitor, analyze and act on data, regardless of the source. Another field where quantum computing is finding applications is banking and finance, to manage credit risk, for high frequency trading and fraud detection.
- 34. • 5. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality Virtual Reality (VR) immerses the user in an environment while Augmented Reality (AR) enhances their environment. Although this technology trend has primarily been used for gaming thus far, it has also been used for training, as with VirtualShip, a simulation software used to train U.S. Navy, Army and Coast Guard ship captains. • 6. Blockchain Although most people think of blockchain technology in relation to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, blockchain offers security that is useful in many other ways. In the simplest of terms, blockchain can be described as data you can only add to, not take away from or change. Hence the term ―chain‖ because you’re making a chain of data. Not being able to change the previous blocks is what makes it so secure. In addition, blockchains are consensus-driven, so no one entity can take control of the data
- 35. • 7. Internet of Things (IoT) Another promising new technology trend is IoT. Many ―things‖ are now being built with Wi-Fi connectivity, meaning they can be connected to the Internet—and to each other. Hence, the Internet of Things, or IoT. The Internet of Things is the future, and has already enabled devices, home appliances, cars and much more to be connected to and exchange data over the Internet. • As consumers, we’re already using and benefitting from IoT. We can lock our doors remotely if we forget to when we leave for work and preheat our ovens on our way home from work, all while tracking our fitness on our Fitbits. However, businesses also have much to gain now and in the near future. The IoT can enable better safety, efficiency and decision making for businesses as data is collected and analyzed. It can enable predictive maintenance, speed up medical care, improve customer service, and offer benefits we haven’t even imagined yet.
- 36. • 8. 5G Where 3G and 4G technologies have enabled us to browse the internet, use data driven services, increased bandwidths for streaming on Spotify or YouTube and so much more, 5G services are expected to revolutionize our lives. by enabling services that rely on advanced technologies like AR and VR, alongside cloud-based gaming services like Google Stadia, NVidia GeForce Now and much more. It is expected to be used in factories, HD cameras that help improve safety and traffic management, smart grid control and smart retail too.
- 37. • 9. Cyber Security Cyber security might not seem like an emerging technology, given that it has been around for a while, but it is evolving just as other technologies are. That’s in part because threats are constantly new. The malevolent hackers who are trying to illegally access data are not going to give up any time soon, and they will continue to find ways to get through even the toughest security measures. It’s also in part because new technology is being adapted to enhance security. As long as we have hackers, cybersecurity will remain a trending technology because it will constantly evolve to defend against those hackers.
