development challenges

The World Wide Web

The web was originally a tool used for
military, scientific, and academic
purposes, but since the early 1990s, it
has become a huge part of our
everyday lives. As technology has
progressed and as more people have
begun using the Internet, the web has
has gone through (and continues to go
through) dominant shifts, specifically
Web 2.0, Web 3.0, and the Internet of
Things.

History of the Internet

Web 2.0
Web 2.0, next envisioned iteration of the
World Wide Web, in which the 2.0
appellation is used in analogy with
common computer software naming
conventions to indicate a new, improved
version. The term had its origin in the
name given to a series of Web
conferences, first organized by publisher
Tim OReilly in 2004.

Web 2.0 describes World Wide Web sites

that emphasize user-generated content,
usability, and interoperability. The term was
popularized by Tim O'Reilly and Dale
Dougherty at the O'Reilly Media Web 2.0
Conference in late 2004, though it was
coined by Darcy DiNucci in 1999. Although
Web 2.0 suggests a new version of the
World Wide Web, it does not refer to an
update to any technical specification, but
rather to cumulative changes in the way
Web pages are made and used.

A Web 2.0 site may allow users to interact

and collaborate with each other in a social
media dialogue as creators of usergenerated content in a virtual community,
in contrast to Web sites where people are
limited to the passive viewing of content.
Examples of Web 2.0 include social
networking sites, blogs, wikis, video
sharing sites, hosted services, and Web
applications.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0

Web 3.0
Web 3.0, a phrase coined by John Markoff of
the New York Times in 2006, refers to a
supposed third generation of Internet-based
services that collectively comprise what might
be called the intelligent Web such as
those using semantic web, microformats,
natural language search, data-mining,
machine learning, recommendation agents,
and artificial intelligence technologies
which emphasize machine-facilitated
understanding of information in order to
provide a more productive and intuitive user
experience.

Possible problems encountered in Web 3.0

1. Compatibility. HTML files and current
web browsers could not support Web 3.0
2. Security. The users security is also in
question since the machine is saving his or
her preferences.
3. Vastness. The World Wide Web already
contains billions of web pages.
4. Vagueness. Certain words are imprecise.
The words old and small would depend on
the user.
5. Logic. Since machine use logic, there are
certain limitation for a computer to be able to
predict what the user is referring to at a given
time.

The World Wide Web

IoT

Web 2.0

Web 1,2 and 3 Explained

IoT
The internet of things (IoT) is the
network of physical devices, vehicles,
buildings and other itemsembedded
with electronics, software, sensors, and
network connectivity that enables these
objects to collect and exchange data.
In 2013 the Global Standards Initiative
on Internet of Things (IoT-GSI) defined
the IoT as the infrastructure of the
information society.

The IoT allows objects to be sensed and

controlled remotely across existing network
infrastructure, creating opportunities for more
direct integration of the physical world into
computer-based systems, and resulting in
improved efficiency, accuracy and economic
benefit; when IoT is augmented with sensors
and actuators, the technology becomes an
instance of the more general class of cyberphysical systems, which also encompasses
technologies such as smart grids, smart
homes, intelligent transportation and smart
cities.

ICT access and usage in the

Philippines
The ITU showed that in 2013, the
Philippines practically maintained its
rank (103rd place from 102nd in 2012)
despite advances in the areas of
access and use of ICT. The countrys
ICT connectivity was further improved
through the installation of the BoracayPalawan Submarine Cable System
completed in the second quarter of

2013

Of the 10 members of the Association of

Southeast Asian Nations, the Philippines
consistently ranked 6th since 2010,
trailing behind Singapore, Brunei
Darussalam, Malaysia, Thailand and
Vietnam
In the ASEAN region, Singapore tops
the list of having the highest mobilecellular telephone densit in 2013, with
Myanmar at the bottom.

In 2013, the Philippines though ranks

8th in the ASEAN region in mobile
penetration, only higher than Lao PDR
and Myanmar. In 2005, the Philippines
ranked 4th but over the years it has
been overtaken by Cambodia, Vietnam
and Indonesia, which in 2013 ranked
4th, 5th and 6th, respectively.

Internet usage slightly increased in

2013. There were around 37 percent of
the population accessing the Internet,
up from 36.2 percent in 2012 (Table 6).
This landed the Philippines in 5th place
vis--vis ASEAN neighbors.

Fixed-broadband subscription per 100

population exhibited remarkable
increase to 9.12 per 100 persons in
2013 from 0.14 in 2005. Broadband
has been successful building a healthy
subscriber base in the country. The
increase, however, is on a downward
trend. Surprisingly, the Philippines
placed second among ASEAN
member nations, only trailing behind
Singapore.

In ASEAN, Singapore topped all

countries in leveraging ICT towards
development. The Philippines
standing improved, even surpassing
Indonesia

Need for better ICT skills

While the Philippines fares relatively
poor in ICT access and use, the skills
and talents of Filipino IT experts have
been viewed to be competitive. Results
of a survey by the Far East Economic
Review in September 1999, suggested
that the Philippines then ranked second
to India in terms of quality, cost and
availability of skilled IT workers in Asia,
making them very much in demand in
many parts of the world.

Trends in ICT

Convergence

Technological convergence is the tendency

that as technology changes, different
technological systems sometimes evolve
toward performing similar tasks
Digital convergence refers to the convergence
of four industries into one conglomerate,
ITTCE (Information Technologies,
Telecommunication, Consumer Electronics,
and Entertainment). Previously separate
technologies such as voice (and telephony
features), data (and productivity applications),
and video can now share resources and
interact with each other synergistically.

Telecommunications convergence, network

convergence or simply convergence are
broad terms used to describe emerging
telecommunications technologies, and
network architecture used to migrate
multiple communications services into a
single network. Specifically this involves
the converging of previously distinct media
such as telephony and data
communications into common interfaces on
single devices, such as most smart phones
can make phone calls and search the web.

Social Media

Social media is a website, application or online

Channel That enabled web users to create discuss,
and exchange User generated content.
1. Social networks
A social network site is a social media site that allows
users to connect and share with people who have similar
interests and backgrounds. Facebook is the most popular
example of a social network website.
2. Bookmarking sites
These sites allow users to save and organize links
to any number of online resources and websites.
A great feature of these services is the ability for
the user to tag links, which makes them easier to search,
and invariably, share with their followers.StumbleUpon
is a popular example of a bookmarking site.

3. Social news
This is a social news site that allows its users to
post news links and other items to outside articles.
Users then vote on said items, and the items with
the highest number of votes are most prominently
displayed. A good example of a social news site
is Reddit.
4. Media sharing
Media sharing websites allow users to share
different types of media, such as pictures and video.
Most of these sites also offer social features, like the
ability to create profiles and the option of
commentingon the uploaded images. YouTube is
the most well-knownmedia sharing site in the world

5. Microblogging
These are just what they sound like, sites that allow the users to
submit short written entries, which can include links to product
and service sites, as well as links to other social media sites.
These are then posted on the walls of everyone who has
subscribed to that users account. The most commonly used
microblogging website is Twitter.
6. Blog comments and forums
An online forum is a site that lets users engage in conversations
by posting and responding to community messages. A blog
comment site is the same thing except a little more focused.
The comments are usually centered around the specific subject
of the attached blog. Google has a popular blogging site aptly
titled, Blogger. However, there are a seemingly endless number
of blogging sites, particularly because so many of them are
niche-based, unlike the universal appeal of general social
media sites.

Mobile Technologies
The popularity of smartphones and tablet has taken a major
Rise over the start of the new century. This is largely because
of the device capability to do task that were originally found in
personal computer. Many of theses devices are capable of
using high-speed iinternet. Today, the latest mobile devices
uses 4G Networking (LTE).Also, mobile devices now uses
different operating systems:
1. iOS used in Apple devices such as the iPhone and the iPad
2. Android an open source operating system developed by
Google. Being an opensource, many mobile phone companies
used this as their OS for their phones.
3. Windows Phone OS a closed source and proprietary
operating system for phones developed by Microsoft.
4. Symbian the original smartphone OS used by Nokia
devices before being bought by Microsoft.

4. Blackberry OS used in Blackberry devices.

5. WebOS Formerly a mobile operating system.
Developed by Palm, HP made the platform open source,
at which point it became Open WebOS. The operating
system was later sold to LG Electronics.
6. Windows Mobile - a family of mobile operating
systems developed by Microsoft for smartphones and
Pocket PCs.
7. Ubuntu Touch - a mobile version of the Ubuntu
operating system developed by Canonical. It is designed
primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as
smartphones and tablet computers.
8. Tizen - an operating system based on the Linux
kernel.It works on a wide range of devices, including
smartphones, tablets, in-vehicle infotainment (IVI)
devices, smart TVs, PCs, smart cameras, wearable
computing), Blu-ray players, printers and smart home
appliances

Assistive Media
Assistive Media is a nonprofit Internet-based radio
reading service to serve people with visual and
reading impairments.
Assistive Media was founded in Ann Arbor, Michigan
in 1996 by David Erdody as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization and with volunteer readers began
producing and distributing spoken-word recordings of
otherwise inaccessible materials on audio cassette to
participating libraries of The Library of CongressNational Library Service for the Blind and Physically
Handicapped. Soon after, with the advent of online
digital audio formats such as RealAudio and MP3
files, direct distribution of recordings shifted to an
Assistive Media web site. In 1999, Assistive Media was
awarded The Streamers Progressive Award,
sponsored by RealNetworks, Inc., as the best
nonprofit web site of the year.
