Bigger Than Apps

Bigger Than Apps

Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Fujitsu Ac Adapter

Before I can delve into those, however, it is necessary to discuss how governments at all levels can play a role in helping the PonD market develop. Here are five activities that governments can do now

1.Include PonD as components in larger contracts. The ultra-customization that PonD can offer may enhance some projects, and if there is a clause and a budget included in a contract, bidders are more likely to design and deliver those objects. As more people gain experience designing objects, and as they universe of open-source objects expands, objects of greater value can be created at lower costs.

2.Hire and/or develop intrapreneurs for PonD. In the past four years, governments at all levels have been bringing on board or promoting from within its own ranks people with application development skills. Chief Information Officers and Chief Data Officers with battery such as Fujitsu Lifebook i4170 Ac Adapter, Fujitsu Lifebook i4190 Ac Adapter, Fujitsu Lifebook P2110 Ac Adapter, Fujitsu Lifebook P2120 Ac Adapter, Fujitsu Lifebook S2000 Ac Adapter, Fujitsu Stylistic 1000 Ac Adapter, Fujitsu Stylistic 1200 Ac Adapter, Fujitsu Stylistic 500 Ac Adapter, Fujitsu Lifebook Point510 Ac Adapter, Fujitsu Lifebook Point 1600 Ac Adapter, Fujitsu Lifebook E6570 Ac Adapter, Fujitsu Lifebook S5582 Ac Adapter have been trumpeting the value of and successes in software development to drive up efficiency, enhance productivity, and expand capabilities. Professionals with a background in 3D design and development would do the same for PonD.

3.Create open-source objects and putting the designs on ThingVerse. In my last post, I shared the link to GSA's GitHub page. Here's HHS and the White House. The reason for sharing the code to their applications is two-fold. First, as a matter of fairness: the American people paid for this code through their taxes and they should enjoy the maximum benefit of the code. That means anyone should be able to see it, to use it, to adapt it to their own purposes. And following on this, it's good for the economy. People who adapt code that the government paid to develop (or to have a third party develop) can turn around and sell their version of the code, as one example. Or they can simply use the code in their own businesses or organizations to streamline or enhance their own operations.

4.Sponsor competitions like Apps for Democracy. Upon its completion, Apps for Democracy was hailed as a success (though there is room for disagreement). What is undeniable, however, was that the program has been emulated elsewhere and has brought attention to how coding can make a difference in civic life. Already, the federal government, through DARPA, holds competitions centered around robotics. What would help move the needle on PonD would be competitions that spark innovation around small-scale objects.

5.Participate in discussions around copyrights and other issues raised by PonD. Talking about the copyrights in an age of 3D scanning might be few people's idea of a good time, but for the market to thrive, inventors (and investors) have to know the rules they will be following. As with setting the standards for identity management, the government should have a seat at the table, but should not fill every (or even the majority) of chairs.

As this market develops, it will become every bit as essential to the economy and to our society as the app market is now. And PonD will touch as many aspects of our daily lives as Software as a Service does now, which is to say, just about everything.
