Open Source | Proprietary Software : For the future!

Open source, as I understood in our debate last Monday, it should be free, source code is available and everyone can modify its codes according on what they want and need. Open source lets programmers or users to freely distribute this software. Open Source is important to Education and also to offices. It gives more benefits in businesses. It has a lot of advantage than proprietary software. But there's also an advantage to open source, the time of releasing updated software is unstable. There is no exact time, when and where it would release its updated software.
As we debated about the open source awareness test, we had agreed in some of the question but most of the time we have different ideas that come up to our minds. Sharing different thoughts or ideas about open source helped us to widen our understanding and make us think more on what would be the best for us. The ideas that we share was also criticized by our classmates that make us defend our answers and make them satisfied to our answers. It was a bit nervous being in front of the class but as we go along nervousness disappears and understanding arises.
For me, Open Source or Proprietary Software can be use by every one of us. No one can tell what the best is. We cannot tell everyone to use open source software rather than proprietary software. But there’s no harm in trying. We should let ourselves explore to the new trends in our technology. It can help us grow and experience a lot that we can treasure the most. Open Source can be useful for us in the next future years at the same time with proprietary software.
