Sharing Our Ideas with the World

  The internet is a completely new phenomenon.  This is a place where collaboration and competition coexist.  In the 20th century no one would have thought that this day would ever have come.  In the past there were winners and there were losers; there were those who made the sale, and those whose merchandise were not purchased.  Companies didn’t want to share the reason to their success unless they could make money doing it.  People claimed that they were protecting their investments; however greed and fear keep people from collaborating.  Nevertheless, the internet has completely changed this.  Now, with the open source revolution, anyone can view the html or php of a webpage.  Basically, you can see the successful recipe right before you’re about to make cookies.  However instead of leading to thievery this open source revolution has led to immense growth online.
