Kick Off

Question 1 

Why Hardware



Software v.s. Mobile App

App = Software + Sensors(Hardware)

App => Solution

Question 1.1 

Why Open Hardware Matters



Theory => Circuit => PCB

Design => Simulation => Wiring

Accessibility is the key

Question EX

What are Silicon Valley guys working on?

The wearable devices
3D Printing
Home Robot
The Internet of Things
Smart Router
