- 4. 3 Information and Communications Technology Information refers to the ideas or concepts obtained from reading, investigation, study or research which are transmitted through media such as telephone, television and radio. Information is necessary to make decisions and to predict the future. For example, scientists can detect the formation of a typhoon using the latest technology and warn the public to avoid disasters in the affected areas. Communication is a means of transmitting messages or sending and receiving information between individuals using symbols, signs or verbal interactions. Before, people transmit messages through signs or symbols and performing drama and poetry. However, these ‘older’ forms of communication are less utilized due to the advent of technology like the use of the Internet, e-mail or video conferencing. Technology is the use of scientific knowledge, experience and resources to create processes and products that fulfill human needs. Information and Communications Technology or ICT deals with the use of different communication tools such as telephone , mobile phones, Internet, etc. to locate, save, send, and edit information. For instance when we make a video call, we use the internet. ICT in the Philippines Philippines is considered as the ICT Hub of Asia because of the tremendous growth of ICT related jobs like Business Process Outsourcing, or call centers.

Users are merely audiences or readers who absorb information from websites. Web 2.0 Web 2.0 means the second generation of the Internet. It is dynamic and focuses on user participation.
