IC tip integration technique based on Moore's
Law has commoditized computers like a ballpoint pen and is still developing
as the engine for Cheap Revolutions. Cheap Revolutions enabled Linus
Torvalds to develop Linux, to accelerate the OpenSource movement, to
create Google, and brought the social revolution to change our life
style, which is still accelerating now.
In 1975, a poor boy, Steve Wozniakl, who didn't have enough money to
buy not only Altair that was the first Homemade Computer but also $179
Intel 8080 CPU that used in Altair found the 6502 tip by MOS Technology
at a computer show. The price of that was $25! One theory is that the
store lady put the wrong price, however, he was pleased to see it thinking
"I can make my own computer!", and buy the 6502 by $25 in his pocket.
On the way home, it is said that he was overjoyed with the 6502 and
its manual on the bus. Apple I and mass-productive Apple II dramatically
changed the world as the first Personal Computer. This is the historic
remark forever as the first episode of Cheap Revolutions.
Asterisk will be the same. The surprising Open Source software that
Mark Spencer created enables anyone to establish "My own mini telephone
company". YouFon is just a small example of the Asterisk's possibility.
