A PEEK IN THE PAST
EVOLUTION OF THE WEB
EVOLUTION OF THE WEB
• In 1989, TIM BERNERS

- LEE, a British scientist,
invented the WORLD
WIDE WEB (WWW)
or simply the WEB.
THE WORLD WIDE WEB
• It is an OPEN-SOURCE INFORMATION SPACE

where documents (formatted and annotated using
HTML and other web resources) are identified by
URLs interlinked using hypertext links and accessed
via the Internet.
THE WORLD WIDE WEB
• It is considered as central
to the development of
the Information Age and
used as a primary tool of
people to interact with
the Internet.
GROUP ACTIVITY:
• Create a group composed of at least 5
members.
• Share your personal experience on how the
current technology have empowered you or
will empower you in the future.
THE WEB TECHNOLOGIES
• STATIC WEB/WEB 1.0

• DYNAMIC WEB/WEB 2.0
• SEMANTIC WEB/WEB 3.0
• MOBILE WEB/WEB 4.0
• OPEN, LINKED AND
INTELLIGENT WEB /WEB 5.0
WEB 1.0 – STATIC WEB
• Also known as FLAT page or STATIONARY page -

page is “AS IS” and cannot be manipulated by the user.
• Web 1.0 is simply an INFORMATION PORTAL
where users passively receive information without being
given the opportunity to post reviews, comments, and
feedback
WEB 2.0 – DYNAMIC WEB
• It was introduced in the year 2004.

• The term was originally coined by DARCY DINUCCI
in 1999 and then defined by tech moguls TIM
O’REILLY and DALE DOUGHERTY
• Known as “Read-Write Web”, “Web of
Interaction” and “Participative Web”
WEB 2.0 – DYNAMIC WEB
• Facilitates interaction between web users and sites, so

it allows users to interact more freely with each other.
• Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites,
blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services,
and web applications.
WEB 2.0 – ITS FEATURES
• FOLKSONOMY
• Allowing users to categorize and classify/arrange information using freely
chosen keywords (e.g., tagging)
• RICH USER EXPERIENCE

• Content is dynamic and is responsive to user’s input
• LONG TAIL
• Services are offered on demand rather than on a one-time purchase
WEB 2.0 – ITS FEATURES
• USER PARTICIPATION
• Others are able to place a content of their own by means of comment,
reviews, and evaluation.
• SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE
• Allows users to “rent” a software for a minimal fee.
• MASS PARTICIPATION
• Web 2.0’s content is based on people from various cultures.
TYPES OF SOCIAL MEDIA
1. Social Networks. These are sites that allow you to

connect with other people with the same interests or
background. Facebook and Google+
2. Bookmarking Sites. These are sites that allow you to
store and manage links to various websites and resources.
StumbleUpon and Pinterest
3. Social News.These are sites that allow users to post

their own news items or links to other news sources.
Reddit and Digg
4. Media Sharing. These are sites that allow you to
upload and share media content like images, music, and
video. Flicker,YouTube and Instagram
5. Microblogging. These are sites that focus on short

updates from the user. Twitter and Plurk
6. Blogs and Forums. These websites allow users to post
their content. Blogger,WordPress and Tumblr
WEB 3.0 – SEMANTIC WEB
• The Semantic Web is a movement led by the World

Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
• It is the “EXECUTABLE” phrase of Word Wide Web
with dynamic applications, interactive services, and
“machine-to-machine” interaction.
WEB 3.0 – SEMANTIC WEB
• 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.
WEB 3.0 – ITS CHARACTERISTICS

B
TOP 10 STRATEGIC TECHNOLOGY
TRENDS IN 2017 (INTELLIGENT)
• AI and Advanced Machine Learning

• This is composed of many technologies and techniques (deep learning,
neural networks, and natural-language processing) that make smart
things “intelligent.”
• Intelligent Apps
• Virtual personal assistants, like Siri and Google Home, that perform
some human assistance functions, making tasks easier.
TRENDS IN 2017 (INTELLIGENT)
• Intelligent Things
• This refers to the physical things that are imbued with
machine learning capabilities through rigid programming.
Examples are autonomous cars, like Google Car, drones,
Internet of Things (IoT) smart appliances, and many more.
Gartner sees a future where these devices will have a
collaborative “intelligent things” model rather than a stand
alone one
TRENDS IN 2017 (DIGITAL)
• Virtual and Augmented Reality

• This refers to the immersive technologies that are now dominating
the market. Basic virtual reality is now accessible to consumers
through different wearables, like VR boxes that are cheap, and
smartphones capable enough of running VR apps downloaded through
app stores. Though these are more focused right now on gaming, VR
and AR technology advancements will soon show how these would be
useful in other aspects of society, like business and research.
• Digital Twin
• This refers to the dynamic software model of a machine or a
thing or system that uses data from various sensors to do
autonomous actions such us comprehension, reaction, and
improvement of operations. This includes a combination of
metadata and analytics.
• Blockchain and Distributed Ledger

• This technology could impact everything from financial
transactions, to money, to community information exchanges.
Its impact will be broad and far-reaching. For example, the use
of blockchain can increase reliability of transactions while
maintaining the privacy. This will allow ecosystems of partners
to interact with more freedom and diversity than ever before.
TRENDS IN 2017 (MESH)
• Conversational System
• We have Siri on our Apple devices and Cortana for Windows
devices helping us as Virtual Personal Assistants. Through evolution
of technologies such as Google Home, these conversational devices
will not be limited to a single device, but instead be connected to a
network of multiple Internet of Things devices like house lights, air
conditioning units, and many more.
• Mesh App and Service Architecture (MASA)

• According to Gartner, Inc., MASA “enables users to
have an optimized solution for targeted endpoints in
the digital mesh (e.g., desktop, smartphone,
automobile) as well as a continuous experience as they
shift across these different channels.”
• Digital Technology Platforms

• These are the platforms that enable a digital business. The
following platforms are identified by Gartner: information
systems, customer experience, analytics and intelligence,
the IoT, and business ecosystems.
• Adaptive Security Architecture

• Constant processing of information requires better, ultra-efficient
architectures to handle the demand. Field programmable gate arrays, or
FPGAs fuel the advanced system architecture which allows systems to
run at ultra-fast speeds and almost mimicking the human brain. These
FPGAs will allow smart systems and advanced machine learning to be
applied to almost all smart devices like smart cars, smartphones, and even
smartwatches.
THINK OF THIS ☺ (SEATWORK)
•Why do you think these two literacies

(information and technology literacies)
must be linked to each other?
• Write your answer in a ½ crosswise yellow/white paper.
• 1 paragraph (1 to 10 sentences only)
