Massimo Banzi Innovator one of the inventor of Arduino open source hardware platform. The platform itself has all the design files for the board open sourced on the web. You can make your own board can make changes in it.
He starts his TED talk with the line "You don't need anybody's permission to make something and create something great".
First example banzi gave was of the 3d printer makers movement. All the files software as well as hardware available is free on makers website and you can arrange those items and can make 3d printer yourself that is the spirit of DIY :).
Motherboard and the board that powers this maker 3d printer is arduino based.
How can we make something that a kid can also use and create, that was the driving force that made them make arduino.
Banzi says if you have any idea just go and make them. Banzi gave example of magazines and companies that came out by developing products on above Arduino. These companies created solutions for real world problems by using this arduino as a processing element, and their out of the box ideas converted into the million dollar companies. MAKE maganize and Adafruit company are some of the examples. Adafruit company is created by lady and this lady is one of the hero of open source hardware campaign. MAKE magazine gather DIY projects and publish them in very lucid manner.
Other examples and projects Banzi talked about was on Quadcopter equivalent is Arducopter community is building around it DIY's can make themselves too. Another company MATTERNET (a new paradigm for unmanned aerial vehicle) came out by making of a product above arduino.
There were lots of examples like plant interacting with the outer world and making its twitter account and interacting with the real world. GIZMODO etc. etc. Some enthusiasts created earthquake detector this detectors automatically detects and tweets on twitter account. Open mirror digitalhabits.it, Pebbles another company came out with product using arduino. The idea was that your mobile phone is interacting with you watch via bluetooth and showing same stuff that is on your nokia phone to on your watch. Finally he gave example of Ardusat that is satellite based on arduino, rarest thing that you can imagine, on kickstart this project is in the conceiving phase if you want to contribute you can contribute there.
Banzi : He is italian and have funny accent and i enjoyed his TED talk, very much educative and at the same time great presentation skills with great sense of humour. You inspire me Banzi............
Banzi is one of those contributors who contributed significantly to the open source community. You are one of the star in the community of DIY's :).
Concluding Remark this talk inspired me to create my own open source hardware and software above arduino a great and supportive community is there to help you if you have any problem. You can modify and build already available projects over there, you can change them and with all of that we can make something cool something worthy to the society making some solutions that can be useful for the deprived people.
It give me sense that sharing and contributing has great power. My stomach is bumping and my mind is fighting with the thoughts that i can also contribute :)
---- Happy sharing
----Ideas are worth spreading[TED tagline].
