The Current State of ICT
(Generations of the Internet)

Web 1.0
Web 1.0 is the name given to the first generation of the Internet. It is the time when most
websites were Static. Webpages are usually just single files in Hypertext Markup Language
(html or htm) format that are displayed in a web browser.
Static websites
Websites from the Web 1.0 generation are mostly read-only or static. The main
characteristic of a static web page is that they are delivered to the users exactly as they are
stored. This is because a static web page is only a single file, normally in html or htm
(Hypertext Markup Language) format, which is saved in a server. The contents of these files
can then be displayed in a user's web browser when its address is entered.

Web 2.0
Web 2.0 represents the second generation of the Internet. Unlike Web 1.0 where users are
merely audiences or readers who absorb information from websites, Web 2.0 focuses on user
participation. Web 2.0 emphasizes on a give-and-take relationship between a website and its
users. This is accomplished by giving the users the power to share different types of information
such as text, images, sounds, and videos. This allows for the creation of interactive with more
real-life uses like online banking, online shopping, and media sharing.
Dynamic Websites
In contrast with static websites, dynamic websites can change their appearance and behavior
based on the users' actions.
For example, let's take a look at google.com. Google search is a dynamic website, which means
that its URL changes depending on the users' location, credentials and search parameters. It also
recognizes different forms of user input like keywords, voice command, and image upload.

Web 3.0
Some people are already referring to the current generation of the Internet as Web 3.0.
Web 3.0's main characteristics include, but are not limited to:
1. Real-time
Events and information are made available to users as they happen.
2. Ubiquitous
Users are always connected to the Internet.
3. Machine learning
Computers and mobile devices can create data and make decisions based on the
user's previous actions.

1. Technological Convergence
is an evolution of technological developments that merge
into new system bringing together different types of
applications and media.

2. Social Media
is a collection of internet-based communication tools and
computer-assisted channels dedicated to allow users to
interact, communicate, and share information in a virtual
community and network.

3. Mobile Media
Mobile technologies refer to a combination of hardware,
operating systems, networking, and software, including
content, learning platforms, and applications.
Mobile Learning - 3 mobilities:
learner, learning, technology
Mobile technology devices range from basic mobile phones
to tablet PCs, and include PDAs, MP3 players, memory sticks,
e-readers, and smartphones (UNESCO, December 2011).

4. Assistive Media
Assistive technology is an umbrella term that includes assistive,
adaptive, and rehabilitative devices for people with disabilities
and also includes the process used in selecting, locating, and
using them.
Assistive technology promotes greater independence by
enabling people to perform tasks that they were formerly unable
to accomplish, or had great difficulty accomplishing, by
providing enhancements to, or changing methods of interacting
with, the technology needed to accomplish such tasks.
