INTRODUCTION
1.1
Open-source software (OSS) is computer software with its source code made
available and licensed with an open-source license in which the copyright holder provides the
rights to study, change and distribute the software for free to anyone and for any purpose.
Open-source software is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open-source
software is the most prominent example of open-source development and often compared to
(technically defined) user-generated content or (legally defined) open-content movements.

MEANING OF HARDWARE
2.0
2.1
An open source operating system (OS) is a set of programs that schedule tasks,
allocates storage and presents a default interface to the user between applications. But this
OS is free, user have the right to use, modify and redistribute the software for better
interoperability.

Mozilla Firefox is a free and open source web browser developed for Windows, OS X
and Linux, with a mobile version for Android, by Mozilla Foundation and its subsidiary, the
Mozilla Corporation. Firefox uses the Gecko layout engine to render web pages, which
implements current and anticipated web standards.
The Firefox project began as an experimental branch of the Mozilla project by Dave
Hyatt, Joe Hewitt and Blake Ross. They believed the commercial requirements of Netscape's
sponsorship and developer-driven feature creep compromised the utility of the Mozilla
browser. To combat what they saw as the Mozilla Suite's software bloat, they created a standalone browser, with which they intended to replace the Mozilla Suite. On April 3, 2003, the
Mozilla Organization announced that they planned to change their focus from the Mozilla
Suite to Firefox and Thunderbird.
3.2.2 THUNDERBIRD
Mozilla Thunderbird is a free, open source, cross-platform email, news and chat client
developed by the Mozilla Foundation.
The project strategy was modeled after Mozilla Firefox, a project aimed at creating a web
browser. On December 7, 2004, version 1.0 was released, and received over 500,000 downloads
in its first three days of release, and 1,000,000 in 10 days.

Pervasive computing also known as ubiquitous computing is the growing trend towards
embedding microprocessors in everyday objects so they can communicate information. The
words pervasive and ubiquitous mean "existing everywhere." Pervasive computing devices are
completely connected and constantly available.
5.2
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is a 10.1-inch tablet computer designed, developed and
marketed by Samsung Electronics. The tablet runs Android 4.0 and serves as a platform for
multimedia consumption including movies, music, and web browsing. It is the second entry in
the Samsung Galaxy Note range, which emphasises the use of a stylus, officially named S-Pen as
an input device for tasks such as sketching and note-taking.

CONCLUSION
The improvement of development in ICT not only helps us through by resolving our
daily life faster and easier but also have created a paperless environment naturally good for our
future.
