“Open source software has had a major impact on the
applications and platforms we all use today. Linux is now a very
viable alternative to Windows and Mac OS even for beginner PC
users. The Android operating system looks set to dominate on mobile
hardware, and more and more software applications are being
released for free as open source projects by anyone who can learn
to program.“Now the same looks set to happen for hardware. With the
development of cheap, easy to use electronics components as part of
the Arduino computing platform, it’s becoming much easier to create
your own hardware solutions without spending a lot of money.”
