10 open source projects that are leading innovation | TechRepublic

Posted on by

Technology depends upon Innovation. Without boundary-pushing ideas, technology (and those who depend upon it) would get nowhere. Innovation also drives businesses and society. Many people assume that most innovation is derived from closed source software and developers. That assumption is, in many instances, very wrong.

There are thousands upon thousands of open source projects that bring about innovation. Some do so on a small scale, while others are thinking massive and global.

The author lists 10 projects that are leading innovation in the world of technology.

  1. OpenNebula
  2. Ubuntu Unity
  3. OpenClinica
  4. OpenStack
  5. Kitware
  6. OpenDaylight
  7. ForgeRock
  8. Facebook Open Compute
  9. Hadoop
  10. Android

How Is Information Technology Changing Healthcare? [INFOGRAPHIC] | Mashable

Posted on by

It’s not such a surprise these days when you visit your doctor’s office and your physician uses an iPad to take notes and store your medical records electronically. It makes sense, since managing modern-day medical information involves a great deal of effort and resources.

The infographic below — by the University of Illinois at Chicago’s (UIC) Online Masters of Health Informatics program — breaks down and describes health informatics and the mashup of technology and healthcare.

How Technology Has Innovated Loneliness | Gizmodo

Posted on by

It’s simple, as the world has gotten easier because technology has gotten better since touch screens have gotten touchier and social networks have filled every social void in our empty soul, we’re still searching for substance.
