In todays world due to the available telecommunication strength it is possible for people around the world to work together and help solve each others problems and benefit from each other. People can sit at home and still reach out to someone who was far and forgotten on the other side. Due to this reason todays people are coming together and making use of the technologies that they share and grow together. There are many efforts that are taken which include:
Openness: Linux that was designed to provide personal computer users a free or very low-cost operating system comparable to traditional and usually more expensive Unix systems. Linux has a reputation as a very efficient and fast-performing system.
Unlike Windows and other proprietary systems, Linux is publicly open and extendible by contributors. Because it conforms to the Portable Operating System Interface standard user and programming interfaces, developers can write programs that can be ported to other operating systems. Linux comes in versions for all the major microprocessor platforms including the Intel, PowerPC, Sparc, and Alpha platforms. It's also available on IBM's S/390. Linux is distributed commercially by a number of companies. A magazine, Linux Journal, is published as well as a number of books and pocket references.
Linux is sometimes suggested as a possible publicly-developed alternative to the desktop predominance of Microsoft Windows. Its use in the business enterprise is growing. Because of its openness it is more robust to virus attacks, provides innovative GUI’s and multiple platform usage.
Peering: Peering is being championed as a technology, a business opportunity and an investment, as well as a revolutionary new means of empowering people and protecting their civil liberties and sense of individualism. Limewire is a good example of peering in which people sitting at different locations can access to a decentralized data that they need for their needs. It helps in getting access to data even though the data is not on the same location.
Sharing: Sharing, which is a less proprietary approach to (among other things) products, intellectual property, bandwidth, scientific knowledge. Bit Torrent for example makes use of sharing of information that can be shared by different users over the internet without even needing to keep it over their own memory space. It is a method of distributing large amounts of data widely without the original distributor incurring the entire costs of hardware, hosting and bandwidth resources. Instead, when data is distributed using the BitTorrent protocol, each recipient supplies pieces of the data to newer recipients, reducing the cost and burden on any given individual source, providing redundancy against system problems, and reducing dependence on the original distributor.
Acting Globally: Globalization is the tendency of businesses, technologies, or philosophies to spread throughout the world, or the process of making this happen. The growth in the development of india is a good example as the job requirements that were up somewhere else in the world are fulfilled by the people who live in india. It is only through globalization that the employment problem of such a huge nation is seeing a solution.
After looking at the new idea of Wikinomics we come to understand that there is a huge need for people to work together in order to develop in their own respective fields. There is a long way to go in order to serve the world by atleast the process has started in the right way.
