Open architecture

Open architecture means that different parts of something can work together, like building blocks. Imagine playing with building blocks where you can mix and match different pieces to make new things. Open architecture works the same way, but instead of blocks, it's like different parts of things that can work together to make new things.

In the world of technology, open architecture means that different computer programs, apps, and systems can work together. It's like different parts of a puzzle that can be put together to make a bigger picture. For example, think of a music app on your phone. It may work with other apps that can share music, videos, or even social media so you can listen or watch it with your friends. Open architecture lets things work together in a smooth way, so you can use different programs and apps without them fighting with each other.
