Are you a digital native? Let’s find out.

Directions: Answer the following questions honestly.

1. How many times have you checked your phone this morning?

2. How many status updates have you posted in Facebook or Twitter today?

3. Did you use the Internet for an hour after you woke up this morning?

4. Do you follow a celebrity via his/her social media account?

If you happen to be “guilty as charged” in most of these questions, chances are, you are a digital native. And chances are, from the moment you were born, you were surrounded by technology. You are surrounded by ICT.

WHO IS A DIGITAL NATIVE?

Digital Native is a person born or brought up during the age of digital technology and therefore familiar with computers and the Internet from an early age.

WHAT IS DIGITAL NATIVE

As the famous saying goes, "Love makes the world go round." But you might argue how the Internet has made the world go round for decades before you start searching for someone to fall in love with. Likewise, the Internet has probably made your world go round in the motivation activity. In this lesson we will understand how information and communication technologies in such a short period of time have improved our lives.

What is Information and Communication Technology or ICT?

• • • It deals with the use of different communication technologies such as mobile phones, Internet and etc. to locate, save, send, and edit information.

Having a unified way to communicate is one of the goals of ICT. We spend less because of ICT.

World Wide Web

• The World Wide Web, commonly referred to as WWW, W3, or simply the Web is an interconnected system of public webpages accessible through the Internet. It was invented Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1989.
• Web pages are what make up the world wide web and it can either be static or dynamic.

Web 1.0

• Web pages are static and not interactive. You can’t post comments or create an account.

Examples of Websites in Web 1.0 - Web 3.0

Web 2.0

• term used to describe the present generation of the World Wide Web that concentrates on its capability of providing people the means to collaborate and share information online

• The second stage in World Wide Web

• Dynamic Website
  • The content of the website changes

• Interactive
  • The user may be able to comment or create user account

• Enables an increased user participation in the web

• Darcy DiNucci, an information architecture consultant, coined the term Web 2.0 in her 1999 article, “Fragmented Future”.
• The term was popularized by Tim O'Reilly and Dale Dougherty at the O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 Conference in late 2004 (TechTarget, 2015).

Features of Web 2.0

• Folksonomy - It allows users to categorize and classify/arrange information using freely chosen keywords (e.g., tagging). Popular social networking sites such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. use tags that start with the pound sign (#). This is also referred to as hashtag.

• Rich User Experience - Content is dynamic and is responsive to user’s input. An example would be a website that shows local content. In the case of social networking sites, when logged on, your account is used to modify what you see in their website.

• User Participation - The owner of the website is not the only one who is able to put content. Others are able to place a content of their own by means of comment, reviews, and evaluation. Some websites allow readers to comment on an article, participate in a poll, or review a specific product (e.g., Amazon.com, online stores).

• Software as a Service - Users will subscribe to a software only when needed rather than purchasing them. This is a cheaper option if you do not always need to use a software. For instance, Google Docs is a free web-based application that allows the user to create and edit word processing and spreadsheet documents online. When you need a software, like a Word Processor, you can purchase it for a one-time huge amount and install it in your computer and it is yours forever. Software as a service allows you to “rent” a software for a minimal fee.

• Mass Participation - It is a diverse information sharing through universal web access. Since most users can use the Internet, Web 2.0’s content is based on people from various cultures.

Web 3.0

• also called as Semantic Web
• Semantics – ability of Web technologies to understand and interpret human generated content
• The aim of Web 3.0 is to have machines understand the user’s preferences to be able to deliver web content specifically targeting the user.
• The Internet is able to predict the best possible answers to your question by “learning from your previous choices
