Informal Learning
In class the other day, we were supposed to find various different open source software. Upon performing these searches, I found that there are lots of useful software available out there. One might say yes there has always been a great deal of software available. I just didn't realize how much "FREE" software there was. I work with a great deal of media so I found a great deal of software that related to other expensive software such as Photoshop. Upon looking into this software, I realized that they perform the same actions. So, essentially many people are just paying for the name. That class was very informative and helpful especially since we are in a recession. After that class, I will always check to see if there is a free open source software similar to what I need before going out and purchasing some very expensive software.

Yeah that class session was awesome! I discovered tons of software that could be useful to me. I may never buy software again! That dang Microsoft, kick rocks! lol I take that back because sometimes I like to ball out and spend some money. Like when I buy a pair of Jordans when I know I can get something else for way cheaper, I just want to be able to say "I got them new Jays". But during hard times like this open source software and fake jordans aren't so bad, LOL!
