They sort of go hand in hand.  As computer hardware gets better, the software people will write software with more features and things that take advantage of the increased speed.  On the other side, sometimes, the software gets slightly ahead, so the hardware people have to make faster hardware to support the new features of the software.

operating system\n\nAn operating system (OS) is a computer program that manages the hardware and software resources of a computer. At the foundation of all system software, the OS performs basic tasks such as controlling and allocating memory, prioritizing system requests, controlling input and output devices, facilitating networking, and managing files. It also may provide a graphical user interface for higher level functions.

how about the history of mass production..\nthe fact that some things now have interchangable parts. The evolution from being able to replace a part of something , like a car, and still use the product.\nThen introduce the new world of disposable products. like calculators and computers and how it has influenced a world who has to have it now and easy..\ngood luck

well unless the humna race dies out, I would think there will be major advancements in the field of computers.  Right now they are playing with Quantom computers, we should see thoughs in the home in about 20 odd years.  Right now the Dual-processor chips are coming to market, so things are changing already.

I'm curious.... If it's due tomorrow, how long have you had to research it?  In any case, you are in luck!  This is the technological age and you can GOOGLE IT!\n\nBest Wishes,\n\nSue

i suggest you go to www.howstuffworks.com this is where i learn everything about computer.

May I suggest that you will probably get more help with this question in the Computers & Internet category, instead of Homework Help.  That category has computer buffs by the score who would jump at the chance to explain their beloved system to you.\n\nGood luck!

The fundamental difference is the composition.  The CPU is made of silicon, gold, etc.  The human brain is made of carbon, hydrogen, etc.

Take a look here :\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_history\n\nThat article also has links to other relevant articles.

Operating System Software is the basic foundation software that your PC needs in order to work properly.  Without an operating system the PC wont function.  It can be compared to the human brain, without the brain the body is useless, or so to speak.  I hope thats useful for you...

Wait - Computers become obsolete in 3 years. That means, should you buy now, your system will be obsolete in 8 months... Think about it - $1k (or more,) going to waste at 4x the speed! :)\n\nI'm waiting too. So are millions of us! :)\n\nZ

Better stability. When a new version of an OS comes out, there are so many bugs that a large company can't afford to have take down their server, so they stick with what works.

An operating system always has a few main functions...\n\n1) Allocate and control access to system resources (RAM, Hard drive, CD-Roms etc)\n\n2) Provide an interface for programs to control devices (this is where drivers come in for devices, the OS uses the driver to communicate with the device on behalf of the user without the user knowing the details)\n\n3) Detect user events and process those event messages to control programs.\n\nThose are some of the main functions of any operating system so I would imagine it is the same role for developing anything... including a learning resource.\n\nI have included a link which tells you more about an operating system and its functions.\n\nEnjoy!
