Discussion
Computer– an electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary form, according to instructions given to it in a variable program. Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the internet protocol suite (TCIP/IP) to link billions of devices worldwide. Means of connecting a computer to any other computer anywhere in the world via dedicated routers and servers. Sometimes called simply ‘’the Net’’, is a worldwide system of computer networks- a network of networks in which the users at any one computer can get information from any other computer.
World Wide Web An information system on the internet that allows documents to be connected to other documents by hypertext links, enabling the user to search for information by moving from one document to another. Is an information space where documents and other web resources are identified by URLs, interlinked by hypertext links, and can be accessed via the Internet. Invented by Tim-Berners Lee
Web Pages Web page is a hypertext document connected to the World Wide Web. It is a document that is suitable for the World Wide Web. The different online platforms of World Wide Web: 1. Web 1 – refers to the first stage in the World Wide Web, which was entirely made up of the Web pages connected by hyperlinks. 2. Web 2 – is the evolution of Web 1 by adding dynamic pages. The user is able to see a website differently than others. - Allows users to interact with the page; instead of just reading the page, the user may be able to comment or create user account. 3. Web 3 – this platform is all about semantic web. - Aims to have machines (or servers) understand the user’s preferences to be able to deliver web content. Static Web Page- is known as a flat page or stationary age in the sense that the page is ‘’as is’’ and cannot be manipulated by the user. The content is also the same for all users that is referred to as Web 1.
Dynamic Web Pages– web 2 is the evolution of web 1 by adding dynamic web pages. The user is able to see website differently than others e. social networking sites, wikis, video sharing sites. FEATURES OF WEB 2.
b) Bookmarking Sites – Sites that allow you to store and manage links to various website and resources. Most of the sites allow you to create a tag to others. Example: Stumble Upon, Pinterest
c) Social News – Sites that allow users to post their own news items or links to other news sources. The users can also comment on the post and comments may also be rank. Ex. Reddit and Digg
d) Media Sharing – sites that allow you to upload and share media content like images, music and video. Ex. Flickr, YouTube and Instagram
e) Microblogging – focus on short updates from the user. Those that subscribed to the user will be able to receive these updates. Ex. Twitter and Plurk
f) Blogs and Forums – allow user to post their content. Other users are able to comment on the said topic. Ex. Blogger, WordPress and Tumblr
- Mobile Technologies– The popularity 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 a high-speed internet. Today the latest model devices use 4G Networking (LTE), which
is currently the fastest. 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. Blackberry OS – use in blackberry devices Windows phone OS – A closed source and proprietary operating system developed by Microsoft. Symbian – the original smartphone OS. Used by Nokia devices WebOS- originally used in smartphone; now in smart TVs. Windows Mobile – developed by Microsoft for smartphones and pocket PCs
- Assistive Media– is a non- profit service designed to help people who have visual and reading impairments. A database of audio recordings is used to read to the
user. 5. Cloud computing (e. Yahoo!, Gmail, Hotmail Cloud Computing)
- distributed computing on internet or delivery of computing service over the internet.

Look for ten websites and classify them as static or dynamic. What makes each website static or dynamic? Use the table below.
Website URL Static Dynamic Reason

Sample
Community Problem: Severe Flooding during rainy days due to blocked drainages Vicinity: Lapiz. St., Oleander Village, Brgy. Pulo, Quezon City Campaign Name: “Anti-Flooding Movement Type of Social Media Used: Blogging Website Used: Wordpress What will be the content of your social website site? It will contain pictures of the flooded area during rainy days. It will also contain pictures of the drainages that are blocked with garbage. I also plan to update it every once in a while. Anyone who views the site will be able to comment on these updates.
Why did you choose that type of social media? People in my community are avid readers of blogs. Most of them follow several blogs that concern the community.
Why did you choose that website?
Wordpress, unlike other blogging platforms, has a more “serious feel” to it. It also contains professional-looking templates that will fit the serious tone of my campaign.
- Why do you think microblogging platforms have become popular when regular
blogging platforms already exist?
______________________________________________________________________________________. - What do you think of Web 3? Do you think it will be realized someday in the future?
