The Open Prosthetics Project


The open prosthetics project is a innovation that has in a way become like the Linux open source idea, but inclined towards the prosthetics community. No person will gain anything from it financially. But anyone can share their designs and ideas to this project and if their part of this prosthetics community they will sure gain a lot from it. This project will create innovations quicker and make it were someday this industry will offer amputees a great deal of help while adjusting to their new way of life style when it comes to star using prosthetics. I find this idea very smart even if it came about, from people that are in this situation. It seems always that those who are experiencing the problem can come up with the best solutions for it.
Open standards. Which is related to the open myo project. is one of the current projects that the open prosthetics project is working on. is the attempt to change communications from mechanical connections To electrical bus standards like those that are already in use on automobiles.
RFID object identification for control information. Is another project that the open prosthetics project are also working on. This project deals with augmenting an advanced hands ability to move and object. This part of the project would be very useful in home service and hobby robotics.

Net Neutrality

Net Neutrality is a principle that describes that no regulations by Internet service providers or the government in accessing networks can be impose on consumers that use the Internet. the FCC created regulations on wired and wireless broadband access providers. The FCC finds this regulations needed, because it believes allowing gigantic corporations to exercise unfettered control over Americans access to the Internet. according to this rules, service providers can not favor specific Internet content or prevent consumers from accessing a competitors website.
Comcast is a Internet service provider. they also provide TV stations service, this cable provider was blocking peer to peer files and slowing down their Internet service. The FCC order this cable service provider to stop this actions. companies like this one argue that net neutrality of their bandwidth will stop prioritization. which is necessary for the future innovation of the Internet.
net neutrality appear to want to protect the Internet access of Americans in being able to access what ever information that is desired. i feel that if this types of regulations are after my interest i have to agree with them. i don't want companies like comcast being able to block my files just like they did as i already mention before. i don't think i want any company able to have that power over my Internet use. also this companies claim this regulation will hinder the future innovations of the Internet, make me feel that i have to follow this companies rules in order to see new technologies created by them. i think this innovations will come regardless there is this rules by the FCC or not.
