Free Software and the Creative Commons
This was a really funny lecture. It was about the 'Digital Life' and we got to know more about free software and saw some really crazy things on the internet. I learned a lot about using other software, cause usually I'm the normal windows user with only little software knowledge.
We had a look at pages like www.mininova.org, www.portableapps.com or www.openoffice.org.
There are two options: You can have the software online, or you can have all the applications on your computer, or on a memory stick.
Open Office is like Microsoft Word, Power Point etc. but you can download it for free.
That's the same with GIMP (like photoshop), Blender (animation) and a lot more.
And if you have any problems with your computer software, just go to www.freewaregenius.com and download their software packages.
The problem of www.download.com, another so called 'free- download page' is, that it first says the downloads are free, but often you have to pay for it in the end.
The result of all these is, that you can safe a lot of money, cause you can find really good free software for downloading, but be careful if it's really for free.
