What is Open Source? Much of the software created in today’s world is created by a company who then has total control over modifying, distributing, monetizing, and granting rights for it. This means that users who purchase the software cannot modify it, share it, and may not actually own it. On the other hand, Open Source software has its code available on the internet for anyone to inspect, copy, modify, and distribute. This makes it cheaper than closed source software, more secure, free to…

how I came across an ever-growing problem that I see today. When I look around, I see items like a bed and a chair and technology everywhere. More specifically, phones, and not just your typical call/text phone, no, I see these innovative mini supercomputers we call smartphones in my friend’s hand and on my lap. This is observable in a single room, but go out into a store and you will find that we spend most of our time looking at our phones rather than at the merchandise we drove to see. This…

The development of the personal computer came after nearly thirty years of small components being innovated, beginning with humans need to develop a mechanical device that could do arithmetic. Personal computing began to actually become more of a reality in the early 1970’s, due to the invention of the microprocessor in 1971. The Intel 4004 contained many crucial components of the computer, from the CPU to the input and output controls into one miniscule silicon chip (Computer History Museum).…

Pi The pertinence of the number pi has been indefatigable throughout the history of mathematics. Pi is a fairly simple concept to grasp, as it is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter of that circle. Pi is notorious to the masses for its aeonian nature; however, mathematicians classify this attribute as being both irrational and transcendental. Skeptics and misanthropes of Pi’s characteristics have claimed that it is a simple calculated number and there must be a…
