Introduction
Open source hardware consists of physical artifacts of technology designed and offered by
the open design movement. Both free and open-source software (FOSS) as well as open
source hardware is created by this open source culture movement and applies a like concept
to a variety of components.
Example: Beagle Board a single-board computer based on low-power Texas Instruments
processors, using the ARM Cortex-A8 core, running Angstrom Linux.
Ubuntu
is a Debian-based Linux operating system, with Unity as its default desktop
environment (GNOMEwas the previous desktop environment). According
to some metrics, Ubuntu is the most popular desktop Linux distribution. The Ubuntu project is
publicly committed to the principles of open source development; people are encouraged to use
free software, study how it works, improve upon it, and distribute it.

4G
In telecommunications, 4G is the fourth generation of mobile phone mobile
communication technology standards. It is a successor of the third generation (3G) standards.
A 4G system providesmobile ultra-broadband Internet access, for example to laptops
with USB wireless modems, to smartphones, and to other mobile devices. Conceivable
applications include amended mobile webaccess, IP telephony, gaming services, highdefinition mobile TV, video conferencing, 3D television and Cloud Computing.
Two 4G candidate systems are commercially deployed: the Mobile WiMAX standard (at first
in South Korea in 2006), and the first-release Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard (in Oslo,
Norway and Stockholm, Sweden since 2009).
Touch n Go
smart card is used by Malaysian toll expressway and highway operators as the sole electronic
payment system (EPS). The credit card sized smartcard made of
plastic with Philips' MIFARE microchip technology embedded in it.
The Touch 'n Go systems are designed to process up to 800 vehicles per hour to ease the
queue congestion at toll plazas and if used together withSmartTAG (a non-stop electronic toll
collection system), will be able to process up to 1,200 vehicles per hour.
6.0 Conclusion
With all the advancements of technology and communication, the world has become a better and
easier place for people to live in. These advancements will help in futher improving the life of people
and be a stepping stone for more technological breakthroughs to come. It is once said that man or
humans will never be satisfied with what they have, that means that improvements in technology will
never stop and will push people to do more.
