Open Source hardware
I’m a big fan of open source hardware and software. Lately I’ve been coming across more open source hardware than just chipsets and little electronic kits. I’ve posted in the past about open source prosthetics, but I’ve been seeing this movement toward DIY medical devices. In the world technology podcast Clark Boyd talks about the Pandemic Ventilator, which the creator has made open source. I’m seeing a developing trend in DIY Biology, as well as an uptick in Citizen science. I wonder what this means for the market and what kind of economy is being produced by these activities.
