The World Wide Web (WWW) is a network of
online content that is formatted in HTML and
accessed via HTTP. The term refers to all the
interlinked HTML pages that can be accessed over
the Internet. The World Wide Web was originally
designed in 1991 by Tim Berners-Lee while he
was a contractor at CERN.

When WWW was invented, most web pages
were static.

Web 1 is a static website without
interactivity. Static refers to web pages that
are the same regardless of the user.

Web 2.0 allows the user to interact with the
page known as DYNAMIC PAGE.
Dynamic page refers to the web pages that
are affected by user input or preference.
Difference Between Static and Dynamic
Difference Between Static and Dynamic

Long Tail – services are offered on demand
rather than on a one-time purchase. This is
synonymous to subscribing to a data plan that
charges you for the amount of time you spent
on Internet or a data plan that charges you for
the amount of bandwidth you used.

Software as a service – users will subscribe to
a software only when needed rather than
purchasing them. Ex. Google docs

Mass participation – diverse information
sharing through universal web access.
Web 3 is a concept of the World Wide Web that is
designed to cater to the individual user.
Semantic Web– is a movement led by the World Wide
Web Consortium(W3C). The semantic web provides
a framework that allows data to be shared and reuse
to deliver web content specifically targeting the
user.
.
Problems encountered in Web 3

Compatibility-HTML files and current web
browsers could not support Web 3.0.

Security – The user’s security is also question
since the machine is saving his or her
preferences

Vastness-The World Wide Web already contains
billions of web pages.

Vagueness – Certain words are imprecise. The words
“old” and “small” would depend to the user.

Logic- since machines use logic, there are certain
limitations for a computer to be able to predict what
the user is referring to at a given time.
Trends in ICT

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

channel that enables web users to create, co-create,
discuss, modify, and exchange user generated

3. Mobile Technologies – The popularities of
smartphones and tablets has taken a major rise over
the years. This is largely because of the devices

fastest mobile network.
