Think open-source! It seems to me to be the ultimate cooperational tool of the future, and maybe it should be integrated into a lot of other fields! |
That makes sense. Do you think there's any advantage to having deep rooted beliefs? Or do you think it's better to rely on ideas most of the time, even if they are changing often? I can see benefits to both ways, but I like the idea method better. I guess that even the definitions of the two words (belief and idea) are subjective as well, because when I say belief, I just mean whatever idea or system I'm currently running on. Everything is subject to change!
I'm not a computer person so I didn't know what open source until I just looked it up! That's pretty interesting. I'm sure I'll be hearing more about it soon.
