1.0 Introduction Meaning of Open Source Software

Open Source software is computer software that is available in source code form the source code and certain other rights normally reserved for copyright holders are provided under an open source license that permits users to study, change, improve and at times also to distribute the software.

Meaning Of Hardware
A computers hardware consists of the physical components necessary to operate and interact with a computer. Since a computers primary language is binary, devices are necessary to convert our input into that language. The binary code coming out of the computer must also be translated into something usable for the operator.

Meaning of Software Software have two types;

System software: Includes the operating system and all the utilities that enables the computer to function. Application software is a software any body can develop it for a particular work. example in a glossary store we can have a application software for accounts, stock list but it can not be used any where other than it.

2.0 The Latest Open Source Operating System 2.1 Meaning Of Open Source OS
Open Source Operating System is a set of programs that schedule tasks, allocates storage and presents a default interface to the user between application that performs a particular function for the user that provide for use, modification and redistribution.

2.2 Examples Of Open Source OS Unix

Unix is a operating system that was designed to provide personal computer users a free or very low-cost operating system that was designed to provide personal computer users a free or very low- a reputatuin as a very efficient and fast-performing system.

(Windows 8) Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of Windows NT family of operating systems. Development of Windows 8 started before the release of its predecessor, Windows 7, in 2009. It was announced at CES 2011, and followed by the release of three pre-release versions from September 2011 to May 2012. The operating system was released to manufacturing on August 1, 2012, and was released for general availability on October 26, 2012.

3.0 The Latest Open Source Application Software 3.1 Meaning of Open Source Application Software
Open Source Application Software includes database programs, word processors, and spreadsheets and others. It is free to use, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it in modified or unmodified forms

. 3.2 Examples Of Open Source Application Software

( Torch ) Torch Browser is a truly a media powerhouse. There's an integrated torrent client, download accelerator, and media grabber. The torrent client opens up in a new tab and has a bunch of basic torrent features. If you are more tech savvy and have a complicated torrent set up, this probably won't replace it. But for those who only torrent once in a while, it's nice to have a client built right into the browser. Users will be able to view info, peers, files, trackers, and more with the Torch Browser torrent client.

(Microsoft Office Word 2013)

A spreadsheet is a computer application that simulates a paper, accounting worksheet. It displays multiple cells usually in a two-dimensional matrix or grid consisting of rows and columns. Each cell contains alphanumeric text, numeric values or formulas. A formula defines how the content of that cell is to be calculated from the contents of any other cell (or combination of cells) each time any cell is updated. Spreadsheets are frequently used for financial information because of their ability to re-calculate the entire sheet automatically after a change to a single cell is made. A pseudo third dimension to the matrix is sometimes applied as another layer,

a) Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.0 b) Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.0

- Through a series of modules, Lightroom helps photographers manage, develop, and present their photos. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom was developed to meet the needs of professional and serious amateur photographers, and Adobe has done very well in this regard. While Lightroom can offer a lot of benefits for more casual shooters, most of them would probably be better off sticking to a program like Photoshop Elements, or other "family photo" organizing software.

Description

Lightroom guides the photography workflow through a series of modules: Library, Develop, Map, Book, Slideshow, Print, and Web. The Library module is where photos are organized and managed via keywords, flags, collections, metadata, and search features. Photos can be reviewed in a number of layouts such as grid, loupe, survey, and compare. Flags, ratings, and labels help with sorting.

added the following features: -New luminance noise reduction -Tethered shooting for selected Nikon and Canon cameras -Basic video file support -Point curve

5.0 Pervasive Computing 5.1 Meaning of Pervasive Computing

The idea that technology is moving beyond the personal computer to everyday technology and connectivity as computing devices become progressively smaller and more powerful. Also called ubiquitous computing, pervasive computing devices is the result of computer technology advancing at exponential speeds. A trend toward all man made and some natural products having hardware and software. Pervasive computing goes beyond the realm of personal computers it is the idea that almost any device, form clothing to tolls to appliances to cars to homes to the human body to your coffee mug, can be imbedded with chips to connect the device to an infinite network of other devices. The goal of pervasive computing, which combines current network technologies with wireless computing, voice recognition, Internet capability and artificial intelligence, is to create an environment where the connectivity of devices is embedded in such a way that the connectivity is unobtrusive and always available.

5.2 Example Of Pervasive Computing Smart TV

(Samsung Smart TV)

Smart TV, which is also sometimes referred to as "Connected TV" or "Hybrid TV", (not to be confused with Internet TV, Web TV, or LG Electronics's upcoming "SMART TV" branded NetCast Entertainment Access devices), is the phrase used to describe the current trend of integration of the internet and Web 2.0 features into modern television sets and set-top boxes, as well as the technological convergence between computers and these television sets /set-top boxes. These new devices most often also have a much higher focus on online interactive media, Internet TV, over-the-top content, as well as on-demand streaming

media, and less focus on traditional broadcast media like previous generations of television sets and set-top boxes always have had. The technology that enables Smart TVs is not only incorporated into television sets, but also devices such as set-top boxes, Blu-ray players, game consoles, and other companion devices. These devices allow viewers to search and find videos, movies, photos and other content on the web, on a local cable TV channel, on a satellite TV channel, or stored on a local hard drive.

GPS

(Garmin Asus GPS)

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that provides location and time information in all weather, anywhere on or near the Earth, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. It is maintained by the United States government and is freely accessible by anyone with a GPS receiver. The GPS project was developed in 1973 to overcome the limitations of previous navigation systems, integrating ideas from several predecessors, including a number of classified engineering design studies from the 1960s. GPS was created and realized by the U.S. Department of Defense (USDOD) and was originally run with 24 satellites. It became fully.

6.0 Conclusion
Open Source can be used by anyone and because it has no copyright claims, so users are free to use, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it in modified or unmodified forms. Pervasive Computing is to make our lives easier because we can interact with computers. Besides that, we can easily give the computer commands and the computer will grant your wish.
