Photo 1: Copyleft logo [1] The easiest way to make a program free is to declare it public property, revoking your copyright. This will allow others to share the program and its enhancements if they so desire. The impact of this is incommensurable and provides many benefits. For example, Project development within a community for improved efficiency Software program updates taken care of by others Technological bugs and advancements discovered by active users Removal of legal boundaries for more creative discoveries Customizable software tailored for specific user needs Strong copyleft The most well known free software license that uses strong copyleft is the GNU General Public License. Strong license is also Design Science License that can apply to art, music, sports photography and video. [2] Weak copyleft Weak copyleft licenses are mostly used for software libraries by allowing links to other libraries (GNU Lesser General Public License). Most important users of weak copyright are Mo...

Review The principal purpose of this review is to discuss changes in Copyright Reform. The authors claim that want  to  keep  copyright  for  commercial  aims, but they want to set all non-commercial copying and use it for free. To be honest, I agree with this document that copyright law should be revised because today’s ban on  non-commercial  sharing  of  culture  between  private  citizens  are threatening  fundamental  rights,  such  as  the  right  to  private  communication,  freedom of information,  and  even  the  right  to  due  process. Authors suggest some good and perspective proposals to have a freedom of information: Photo 1: DRM free [1] Moral Rights Unchanged Free Non-Commercial Sharing 20 Years Of Commercial Monopoly Registration After 5 Years Free Sampling A Ban on Digital Rights Management To sum...

Review The main purposes of this article are to discuss about the problems that the information society is facing in recent times, and highlights issues that need to be taken into account by society and government for their future beneficial development The term "information society" as "a creative society based on interaction". The author emphasizes that technological developments may not always be at the forefront of the information society, but it is important to focus on thinking about new ways of doing things. In the article, the author mentions 10 global trends (such as increasing international tax competition, regional concentration, a deepening global divide). Himanen argues that the new global division of labor and international tax competition means that the prosperous countries of Europe and America can no longer compete with the world leaders in production, since they cannot produce goods at a low price, which is now becoming a reality in 2022 and almost...

 Facebook - how it has influenced on Web Photo 1: Facebook founder - Mark Zuckerberg [1] Facebook is perhaps the most powerful social network in the world, which in a few years has turned from a service for a small circle of friends into a global platform for communication. This word is now on the lips of every representative of the progressive young generation. Gradually, Facebook becomes an integral attribute of our lives. And not by chance. Brief history of facebook Facebook as a social networking site was founded on February 4, 2004. The founder of the service is Mark Zuckerberg, who installed the portal in the university dormitory. Up until September 2005, only students used the site. In June 2006, Facebook was opened to professional communities, and in September free registration was opened on the site.

 An obsolete one technology and another which survives to this day Incandescent light bulb Photo 1: Incandescent light bulb [1] Incandescent lamps are an artificial light source in which light is emitted by an incandescent body located in the bulb. Warming up due to electrical resistance, it emits light and heat, which leads to a rather irrational energy consumption. In this regard, lamps of this type were replaced by more efficient and economical lamps such as fluorescent lamps, cold cathode lamps, high-intensity discharge lamp, LEDs. [1] Incandescent light bulb consists of a base and a glass flask. Inside it is a thin tungsten spiral. She is an electrical conductor. With the passage of electricity, the spiral heats up, which is accompanied by an intense release of light. The design uses a tungsten spiral, since this material has a high temperature resistance. Any other metal would simply burn out from the heat. [2] However, an incandescent lamp is a measuring standard. Often on t...

 Three Interesting examples of IT Solutions from Three Different Decades 1. IBM PC (1980s)  Today we can’t do without a personal computer (PC) for a day, but have you ever thought about the first mass computer for a user? The IBM PC 5150 is the first mass-produced personal computer manufactured by IBM, released in 1981. The IBM 5150 includes an Intel 8088 processor. The RAM could be up to 256 kilobytes. At the same time, the cheapest version of the computer had a memory capacity of only 16 kb, expandable up to 64 kb. [1]  The IBM PC could use either a monochrome MDA video adapter (text 80x25, character size 9x14), or a color CGA video adapter (text 80x25 or 40x25, character size 8x8, or graphics 320x200/4 colors or 640×200/2 colors). Moreover, it was even possible to insert both adapters and connect two monitors at once, monochrome and color. [2]                       Photo 1: IBM 5150 [1] Factors that have contr...
