Have you ever felt so irritated for having so many different file types? Documents composed by one application cannot be opened from another.
I wish there were universal file types. You have surely wished at least for once in your life, specially if you’re a Geek.
There are about 1000+ file types and data transmitting protocols nowadays in computer field. We have a number of file types even for the same sort of applications. One common example would be that we have a number of different file types in text processing. Different file types are supported by different text processors. In some applications we can save the document in other formats (which is not the default for that particular application) as well, still in most of the cases we experience inconsistencies such as formatting issues when the same document is opened from another application.
It would be great, if we can have standard file types so that our lives would be much easier. Document Freedom Day is all about celebrating and making awareness of such open standards.
