did you know that you and your computer
speak different languages
it doesn't speak spanish or swedish
or chinese it speaks in ones and zeros
you can't communicate directly with your
computer but that's where your operating
system comes in
the operating system or os is the
program that lets you interact with your
computer
together the operating system and
computer hardware form a complete system
that determines what your computer can
do
there are many different operating
systems two of the most common ones are
microsoft windows
and mac os windows comes pre-loaded on
most personal computers
while mac os runs on all new macs
operating systems aren't just for
desktop and laptop computers
mobile devices run mobile operating
systems like apple ios
or google android which are designed for
interactions with smaller touch screens
before downloading a new program or
application be aware that it may not be
available for your operating system
some applications work on all devices
while others only work on certain ones
so get to know your operating system to
see how it works and what it can do
