2010, the ICT industry shares 19.3% of
the total employment population.
Time magazines declared Makati City,
Philippines-Rank 1 as the Selfiest Cities
around the world, and Rank 9 is Cebu
City.
31. What is Information and
Communications Technology(ICT)?
ICT refers to technologies that provide
access to information through
telecommunications.
It focuses primarily on communication
technologies. This includes the internet,
wireless networks, cell phones, and other
communication mediums (Christensson
2010).
32. What is Information and
Communications Technology(ICT)?
Add the computer and network hardware and
software, satellite systems, as well as the
various services and applications associated
with them, such as videoconferencing and
distance learning. With the rapid growth in our
technology, communication now became
global where you can communicate to other
people anytime or anywhere as long as you
have an internet connection and a device.
33. COMPUTER
Computer is an electronic device that
can accept raw data as input,
manipulate or process it to produce
output.
- Computer system is consists of
hardware, software, and peopleware.
34. Hardware refers to the tangible
component of the computer system.
This can be monitor, keyboard, mouse,
webcam, USB flash drive, speaker,
headset, microphone, or printer.
Software refers to the intangible part of
the computer system. This can be the
Microsoft Office Application like MS
Word, MS PowerPoint or MS Excel or
other applications used to produce
output.
35. Peopleware is the user, in which, if
either one of the three components
is missing, the entire computer
system will not function.
36. Online platform is defined as a digital
service that facilitates interactions
between two or more distinct but
interdependent sets of users (whether
firms or individuals) who interact through
the service via the Internet (OECD 2019).
ICT is one of the online platforms in the
market. Others are Collaborative platforms
which is a category of business software
that adds broad social networking
capabilities to work processes.
38. Online systems are online versions of
information systems, which is the process
of and tools for storing, managing, using,
and gathering of data and
communications in an organization.
One example of this is the Learning
Information System (LIS) where the records
of students are stored, gathered and
managed for easy process and retrieval.
39. Trends in ICT
1.Convergence is
the technological
advancements
to work
synergy
of on
a
similar goal or task.
For example, besides using your personal computer to create
word documents, you can now use your smartphone.
Technological convergence is a term that
describes bringing previously unrelated
technologies together, often in a single device.
Smartphones might be the best possible example of
such a convergence. Prior to the widespread
adoption of smartphones, consumers generally
relied on a collection of single-purpose devices.
.
40. Trends in ICT
2. Social Media is a website, application,
or
online channel
that create,
co-create,
enables web users
to discuss, modify,
and
exchange user generated content.
Social Media - are computer-mediated tools
that allow people or companies to create, share,
or exchange information, career interests, ideas,
and pictures/videos in virtual communities and
networks.
43. 3. Mobile Technologies The popularities of
smartphones and tablets has taken a major rise
over the years. This is largely because of the
devices capability to do the tasks that were
originally found in PCs.
Several of these devices are capable of using
high-speed internet. Today the latest model
devices use 4G Networking(LTE), which is
currently the fastest mobile network.
Trends in ICT
45. Mobile OS
iOS use in apple devices such as iPhone and
iPad.
Android an open source OS developed by
Google. Being open source means mobile phone
companies use this OS for free.

promoting your organization or brand.
Fill up the table below with necessary
information you found based on the following:
a) Social media site focus
b) Brand exposure opportunities
c) Advertising opportunities.
For your example, Number 1 is already answered
for you. The answer is based from (Seltzer n.d.).
57. What Are the HTTP and WWW in
URLs? Are they required?
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and World Wide
Web (WWW) both are acronyms used online and
are an inherent part of all website
URLs (Uniform Resource Locator):
A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a unique
identifier used to locate a resource on the
Internet.
For the average internet user, despite having seen them
time and time again before the URL keys, these two terms
often remain shrouded in mystery.
59. Hypertext Transfer Protocol
Secure (HTTPs) is a method for
encoding and transporting
information between a client
(such as a web browser) and a
web server.
HTTP is the primary protocol
for transmission of
information across the
Internet.
Ref:https://www.nginx.com/resources/glossary/http/#:~:text=Hypertext%20Transfer%20Protocol%20(HTTP)%20is,of%20information%20across%20the%20Internet.
61. Web Browsers are application programs. They display a www
document, and they usually access the document using other
internet services. On the other hand, web servers are computers or
programs that can easily provide various services to clients (other
programs). The browser requests for services and documents, and
the server displays the web content. Here, the browser acts as a
bridge or an interface between the server and the client.
68. The World Wide Web (WWW), commonly known as the
Web, is an information system that enables information
sharing over the Internet through user-friendly ways meant
to appeal to users beyond IT specialists and hobbyists.
It allows documents and other web resources to be accessed
over the Internet according to specific rules of the
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
The Web was invented by English computer scientist
Tim Berners-Lee while working at CERN.He was motivated
by the problem of storing, updating, and finding documents
and data files in that large and constantly changing
organization, as well as distributing them to collaborators
outside CERN.
69. The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that
uses the Internet protocol suite (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol) to communicate between networks and devices. It is a global
network of networks.
Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet
70. Reading the URL
When evaluating a website there are several things to
take into consideration, one of the first things to look at
is the URL (Uniform Resource Locator: a protocol for
specifying addresses on the Internet) this can often tell
you several things about the website, the creator, the
audience, the purpose and sometimes even the country
of origin. The URL is the address you type in to get to a
web site the http://uscupstate.edu/library (our librarys
address) or https://www.google.se/ (Swedens Google
search).
71. Reading the URL
A domain name is like a websites proper
name (the part after the www.), businesses and
organizations often have a domain name that is
their corporate name (for example Microsofts
domain name is Microsoft.com). The domain
suffix is the end of the domain name (the .com
part) and can offer insight into the type of
organization the site is linked to. For example,
any commercial enterprise or corporation that
has a web site will have a domain suffix of .com,
which means it is a commercial entity.
72. Reading the URL
Popular domain suffixes include ".com," ".net,"
".gov," and ".org," but there are dozens of
domain suffixes. However, since any entity can
register domain names with these suffixes, the
domain suffix does not always represent the
type of website that uses the domain name.
For example, many individuals and
organizations register ".com" domain names
for non-commercial purposes, since the
".com" domain is the most recognized.
73. Reading the URL
The domain suffix might also give you a clue about the
geographic origin of a web site, each country also has a
unique domain suffix that is meant to be used for
websites within the country. For example, Brazilian
websites may use the ".br" domain suffix,
Chinese websites may use the ".cn" suffix, and
Australian websites may use the ".au" suffix. These
country-based TLDs, sometimes referred to as
"country codes," are also used to specify different
versions of an international website. For example, the
German home page for Google is "www.google.de"
instead of "www.google.com."
75. Domain Suffix
A complete List of domain suffixes and their definitions.
.com = Commercial site. The information provided by
commercial interests is generally going to shed a
positive light on the product it promotes. While this
information might not necessarily be false, you might be
getting only part of the picture. Remember, there's a
monetary incentive behind every commercial site in
providing you with information, whether it is for good
public relations or to sell you a product outright. (See
the Information, Disinformation, Misinformation page)
76. Domain Suffix
A complete List of domain suffixes and their definitions.
.edu = Educational institution. Sites using this domain
name are schools ranging from kindergarten to higher
education. If you take a look at your school's URL you'll
notice that it ends with the domain .edu. Information
from sites within this domain must be examined very
carefully. If it is from a department or research center at
an educational institution, it can generally be taken as
credible. However, students' personal Web sites are not
usually monitored by the school even though they are
on the school's server and use the .edu domain.
77. Domain Suffix
A complete List of domain suffixes and their definitions.
.gov = Government. If you come across a site with this
domain, then you're viewing a federal government site.
All branches of the United States federal government
use this domain. Information such as Census statistics,
Congressional hearings, and Supreme Court rulings
would be included in sites with this domain. The
information is considered to be from a credible source.
78. Domain Suffix
A complete List of domain suffixes and their definitions.
.org = Traditionally a non-profit organization.
Organizations such as the American Red Cross or PBS
(Public Broadcasting System) use this domain suffix.
Generally, the information in these types of sites is
credible and unbiased, but there are examples of
organizations that strongly advocate specific points of
view over others, such as the National Right to Life
Committee and Planned Parenthood. You want to give
this domain scrutiny. Some commercial interests might
be the ultimate sponsors of a site with this suffix. (See
the Information, Disinformation, Misinformation page)
79. Domain Suffix
A complete List of domain suffixes and their definitions.
.mil = Military. This domain suffix is used by the various
branches of the Armed Forces of the United States.
.net = Network. You might find any kind of site under
this domain suffix. It acts as a catch-all for sites that
don't fit into any of the preceding domain suffixes.
Information from these sites should be given careful
scrutiny.
