This week in class we learned about Open Source Software. An example of Open Source Software is Open Office.org and is an open source version of Microsoft Office and has comparable programs and is free. It has comparable programs to PowerPoint, excel, word processor, graphics tool, and database tool. Another example of Open Source Software is Sourceforge which is a great resource for finding open software that is free.
Open Source Software relates to my major which is Special Education because software is expensive and since open source software is free it is great for students to use to learn about different softwares there is out there. This website, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software , is on wikipedia about what exactly Open Source Software is and how it is changing technology in society today.
