Open Source

So you know was open-source is. You don't? Well open-source is software that has its code available, for free, so that users can change and adapt the program to better suit their need. This type of software changes very easily, making it keep up with the end user better than corporate made software. Because of this many of the programs used on the internet are, at their core, open-source.
The problem with open-source is that, to have input into the process, you must be able to program. Because of this problem, many open-source programs are not mainstream user friendly. Many of the programs are written for computer geeks by computer geeks(as opposed to corporate software, which is usually written for mainstream users). This causes some problems but overall open-source software is better for the user. One possible solution(in my opinion) is for programmers to get input as well as give input. Many write to improve the software for their own personal gain, but if they possibly looked into some ideas and improvements that non-programmers have, they may find ideas that will benefit them as well as the less computer savvy users.
`Overall, open-source software is an amazing concept and practice. It is evolution for software. With so many people inputting onto the programs, the programs become like living organism fueled my mass brainstorming. There is constant improvements and innovations and it keeps growing into something new and more adapted to its purpose
