1.0 INTRODUCTION Open source software

Open source software is software whose source code is published and made available to the public, enabling anyone to copy, modify and redistribute the source code without paying royalties or fees. Open source code evolves through community cooperation. These communities are composed of individual programmers as well as very large companies.
HARDWARE
Hardware is a general term for the physical artifacts of a technology. It may also mean the physical components of a computer system, in the form of computer hardware. It historically meant the metal parts and fittings that were used to make wooden products stronger, more functional, longer lasting and easier to fabricate or assemble. Modern hardware stores typically sell equipment such as keys, locks, hinges, latches, corners, handles, wire, chains, plumbing supplies, tools, utensils, cutlery and machine parts, especially when they are made of metal.
SOFTWARE
Software is a program which consists of a set of instructions that tells the computer how to perform a specific operation. A computer is just a machine with no special benefits without software. Example: System Software and application software.
2.0 THE LATEST OPEN SOURCE OPERATING SYSTEM 2.1 MEANING OF OPEN SOURCE OPERATING SOFTWARE
An operating system is a set of programs that coordinates all the activities among the computer hardware devices. In most cases, the operating system is installed and resides on the computers hard disk.However, on handheld computers and many mobile devices such as PDAs and smart phones, the operating system may reside on a ROM chip.The operating system that a computer uses sometimes is called the platform.
2.2 EXAMPLE OF OPEN SOURCE OPERATING SOFTWARE

The example of open source operating software are Linux, MacOS X, Unix, Windows XP. LINUX Linux is a freely distributed UNIX, it is a compatible operating system for PCs and a number of other processors. UNIX UNIX is an operating system, or family of operating systems, developed at Bell Laboratories in early 1970sas a replacement for an earlier system called Multics.
3.0 THE LATSET OPEN SOURCE APPLICATION SOFTWARE 3.1 MEANING OF OPEN SOURCE APPLICATION SOFTWARE
Application software is a computer program or a suite of computer programs that performs a particular function for the user. It includes all programs that perform specific tasks such as word processing, spreadsheet, database, presentation, e-mail and Web browsingA software application
that enables a user to display and interact with text, images, and other information typically located on a web page at a website on the World Wide Web.
3.2 EXAMPLE OF OPEN SOURCE APPLICATION SOFTWARE

Examples of open source application software are Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Outlook Express and Internet Explorer. MICROSOFT WORD Microsoft Office 2010 (also called Office 2010 and Office 14) includes extended file format support, user interface updates, and a changed user experience.A 64-bit version of Office 2010[8] is available, although not for Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. Office 2010 marks the debut of free online versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote, which work in the web browsers Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari, but not Opera. Office Starter 2010, a new edition of Office, replaced the low-end home productivity software, Microsoft Works.
INTERNET EXPLORER Windows Internet Explorer 9 (abbreviated as IE9) is the current version of the Internet Explorer web browser from Microsoft. It was released to the public on March 14, 2011 at 21:00 PDT. Internet Explorer 9 supports several CSS 3 properties, embedded ICC v2 or v4 color profiles support via Windows Color System, and has improved JavaScript performance. It also features hardware-accelerated graphics rendering using Direct2D, hardware-accelerated text rendering using DirectWrite, hardware-accelerated video rendering using Media Foundation, imaging support provided by Windows Imaging Component, and high fidelity printing powered by the XPS print pipeline. Internet Explorer 9 also supports the HTML5 video and audio tags and the Web Open Font Format. Microsoft has released Internet Explorer 9 as a major out-of-band
version that is not tied to the release schedule of any particular version of Windows, unlike previous versions.
4.0 THE LATEST DEVELOPMENT IN ICT 4.1 HARDWARE

A USB flash drive consists of a flash memory data storage device integrated with a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface. USB flash drives are typically removable and rewritable, and physically much smaller than a floppy disk. Most weigh less than 30 g (1 oz). Storage capacities in 2010 can be as large as 256 GB with steady improvements in size and price per capacity expected. Some allow 1 million write or erase cycles and offer a 10-year shelf storage time.

4.2 SOFTWARE
Windows 7 is the latest release of Microsoft Windows, a series of operating systems produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, netbooks, tablet PCs, and media center PCs.[5] Windows 7 was released to manufacturing on July
22, 2009,[6] and reached general retail availability on October 22, 2009,[7] less than three years after the release of its predecessor, Windows Vista. Windows 7's server counterpart, Windows Server 2008 R2, was released at the same time.

5.0 PERVASIVE COMPUTING 5.1 MEANING OF PERVASIVE COMPUTING

Pervasive computing (also called ubiquitous computing) is a post-desktop model of humancomputer interaction in which information processing has been thoroughly integrated into everyday objects and activities. In the course of ordinary activities, someone "using" pervasive computing engages many computational devices and systems simultaneously, and may not necessarily even be aware that they are doing so. This model is usually considered an advancement from the desktop paradigm. More formally Ubiquitous computing is defined as "machines that fit the human environment instead of forcing humans to enter theirs." This paradigm is also described as ubiquitous computing, ambient intelligence., where each term emphasizes slightly different aspects. When primarily concerning the objects involved, it is also physical computing, the Internet of Things, haptic computing, and things that think. Rather than propose a single definition for pervasive computing computing and for these related terms, a
taxonomy of properties for pervasive computing has been proposed, from which different kinds or flavors of pervasive systems and applications can be described
5.2 EXAMPLE OF PERVASIVE COMPUTING

One of the earliest ubiquitous systems was artist Natalie Jeremijenko's "Live Wire", also known as "Dangling String", installed at Xerox PARC during Mark Weiser's time there. This was a piece of string attached to a stepper motor and controlled by a LAN connection; network activity caused the string to twitch, yielding a peripherally noticeable indication of traffic. Weiser called this an example of calm technology.[12] Ambient Devices has produced an "orb", a "dashboard", and a "weather beacon": these decorative devices receive data from a wireless network and report current events, such as stock prices and the weather, like the Nabaztag produced by Violet Snowden.
6.0 CONCLUTION
Using open source software offers various advantages, such as the ability to reduce costs and development time or to avoid being dependent on a single vendor. It is therefore to be expected that more and more companies and institutions will star using open source. There are however some risks associated with doing so. Being forced to release some or all of the software of a commercial product as open source software may greatly reduce its value. It is therefore recommended to carefully study the license agreement and to make an assessment of the risks associated with these conditions. One should always check whether the own application is clearly separated from software under the GPL. And of course compliance with the license conditions need to be checked. With a careful application of the license conditions, it is possible to benefit most from using open source software while minimizing the risk.
