software companies VS open-source software

Q1: Is there any problem with simply using the products that these two companies( Microsoft and Apple) create for us?

Ans:

  1. need to update all the time
  2. expensive to buy the license software
  3. cannot do any changes on the software programmes, like puppet that control by the companies
  4. the users are passive on using the software
  5. need to follow the rules of using the software
  6. unnessary software in our computers but we can do nothing on that(eg, Microsoft Vista),waste momery of computer

Q2:Why do some people choose to use open-source software such as Linux?

Ans:

  1. they have enough knowledge on changing the software
  2. the software is much cheaper
  3. save time and money for update the software as we can do it by ourselves
  4. users are more active on using the software

Q3: Who owns the right to modify your digital tools? Does it matter at all? Why or why not?

Ans:

  1. Nowdays, only Microsoft and Apple own the right to modify my digital tools as they invent the software, they are the owners of sofware, users are people who buy one license copy only
  2. and those companies do not open the code of the software so that people do nothing on changing them
  3. however, i think if people have enough knowledge( not include me) on computer and software, they should have the freedom on changing the software to satisfy they wants
  4. users try to become active on using the software but not passive
