In this assignment its content that what we can learn and also know about the meaning,
the examples and also it function of the latest open source OS, the latest open source
application software, the latest ICT hardware and the pervasive computing.

2.0 The Latest Open Source Operating System

2.1 Meaning of open source OS
- Open source is an approach to the design, development and distribution of
software, offering practical accessibility to software’s source code. Some
consider open source as one of various possible design approaches, while
others consider it a critical strategic element of their operations. Before open
source became widely adopted, developers and producers used a variety of
phrases to describe the concept; the term open source gained popularity with
the rise of the Internet, which provided access to diverse production.

2.2 Examples of open source OS

- LINUX
- Fedora
3.0 The Latest Open Source Application Software
3.1 Meaning of open source application software
- Open source software is computer software for which the source code and
certain other rights normally reserved for copyright holders are provided
under a software license that meets the Open Source Definition or that is
in the public domain. This permits users to use, change, and improve the
software, and to redistribute it in modified or unmodified forms. It is very
often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open source software is
the most prominent example of open source development and often
compared to user- generated content. The term open source software
originated as part of a marketing campaign for free software.

5.0 Pervasive Computing
5.1 Meaning of pervasive computing
• The trend towards an information environment in which users have access
to this trend is particularly associated with the growth of wireless
technologies that allow users to access online information and services
remotely and synchronies data between different computers

5.2 Examples of pervasive computing

- The examples of pervasive computing is wireless, Bluetooth and infrared

WIRELESSW

ireless is an old-fashioned term for a radio transceiver (a mixed receiver and transmitter
device), referring to its use in wireless telegraphy early on, or for a radio receiver.
BLUETOOTH

Bluetooth is an industrial specification for wireless personal area networks (PANs).

Bluetooth lets these devices communicate with each other when they are in range.

INFRARED

Infrared (IR) radiation is electromagnetic
