This is a really interesting way on how to preserve technology. It's kind of interesting to see how someone thought of this idea.

ReplyDeleteOpen Source Code would not have been imagined as possible more than 20 before the article was published. Many companies kept their coding secret for themselves which means everyone had to start from scratch to perfect theirs. Sooner than expected, open source became a rule. It was influenced by the idea of "freedom of speech, free access to public goods and knowledge, and progress itself." As a result of codes being accessible to everyone, we now have free services from Google and other developments. The purpose was to democratize technology and for people to explore these resources without having to ask permission or being watched. However, our new sources in the Internet like Facebook and such have been able to analyze us, the users. I think it is so interesting that Svalbard is the place where they store most of the existing coding and that it contains coding from different countries. It is also a spot of neutrality.
