What is Open Source :

Well open source is a form of technology, its main aim is to provide source code of the softwares that we use daily, so that it can be used by contributors to develop it more and according to users need and security. As the name says the source code is open.

Why should i use Open Source :

If you are an end-user, nothing can be better for you. All your daily needs application are available for free, plus because of open contribution a lot of programmers are working on it, leading to a good end product.

I mean firefox is open source its free and its better than internet explorer. VLC is open source and is a favouriate of all isn’t it

If you are a developer, you get to show your ability in application writting. taking an example, if im good at writting security for applications then i can contribute same code to many softwares. It gives me the freedom to write codes, what i want and for whom i want. Im not bound to a superior guy forcing me to develop an applet of which i have no information about.

Open Source and World :

Well Open Source has spread a lot lately, Google has shown surprisingly huge response in Open Source. All its latest applications are open source (chrome browser, android OS, Chrome OS). Apple uses most of the Open Source apps in its OSX… being frank it is the best company to optimise open source to the fullest.

Open Source Addiction :

Well once a person starts using open source technology, he becomes a fan of it… and this technology fantasises him so much that he keeps on going into it
