In chapter 3 I learned the role of operating systems and what they really do for the computer. Such as: in order for the computer to use any application software it must first be running an operating system. In other words operating systems contain instructions that coordinate all of the activities of the hardware devices in a computer. Next were the different types of operating systems which include windows, Mac OS, UNIX, and Linux. Out of all mentioned the most used in Schools and home computers is Microsoft Windows. Also another component of operating systems is there versions; companies usually introduce new versions of the operating systems to make the users life easier. Also in this chapter was application software which consists of programs designed to perform specific task for users.
Through this chapter I feel that I have learned a significant amount of information since my last post. Now when it comes to me upgrading to a new operating system I will be able to find the version that will be best for me based on my needs and the versions qualifications. I can now say that I know the reason behind my computer booting up what takes place, and why I can’t automatically start a program when I turn my computer on. That is because the operating system must be loaded up before I can perform any task.
Some thing I found interesting this weekend that I feel I should share is that Seminole ticketing uses the numbers of tickets sold to anticipate the number of concessions they will need to have ready for the game. Another thing I learned was to double check the money that the concessions make, they tally up the total amount of food left and subtract it from their original and then multiply that by their prices and that determines the amount of money that they should have.
