Question : Comprehension: Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow. What if globally designed products could radically change how we work, produce and consume? Several examples across continents show the way we are producing and consuming goods could be improved by relying on globally shared digital resources, such as design, knowledge and software. Imagine a prosthetic hand designed by geographically dispersed communities of scientists, designers and enthusiasts in a collaborative manner via the web. All knowledge and software related to the hand is shared globally as a digital commons. People from all over the world who are connected online and have access to local manufacturing machines (from 3D printing and CNC machines to low-tech crafts and tools) can, ideally with the help of an expert, manufacture a customised hand. This is the case of the Open Bionics project, which produces designs for robotic and bionic devices. There are no patent costs to pay for. Less transportation of materials is needed, since a considerable part of the manufacturing takes place locally; maintenance is easier, products are designed to last as long as possible, and costs are thus much lower. Question: What is the term used in the passage for globally shared digital things?
Option 1: digital commons
Option 2: digital information
Option 3: digital resources
Option 4: digital world
Correct Answer: digital commons
Solution : The first option is the correct answer.
The term used in the passage for globally shared digital resources is digital commons. The passage mentions, "All knowledge and software related to the hand is shared globally as a digital commons ". This phrase refers to a shared space or community where digital resources, such as design, knowledge, and software, are collectively available for use by people worldwide.
Therefore, the correct answer is digital commons.
