1. An Operating System is like gasoline for a car. An operating system talks between the hardware and the applications. Its the middle man. Its the gasoline that makes the car go. Without gas, a car will not run. Computer applications are like the cars air conditioning, radio, drive, and reverse.

2. What is an Operating System? An operating system is the most important software that runs on a computer. It manages the computer's memory, processes, and all of its software and hardware. An operating system is NOT a single program. An Operating system is a collection of programs that work together. The operating system KERNAL is the heart of the operating system that runs all low-level functions. Device drivers are small software programs that interface between the operating system and hardware peripherals. For example: USB drives, printers, and external hard drives. The operating system talks between the systems hardware and its applications.

The BOOT PROCESS is a sequence of steps that a computer takes to go from an empty piece of computer hardware to a computer system ready to work for the user. 3. BOOT UP PROCESS

PULL YOURSELF UP BY YOUR BOOTSTRAPS MEANING IMPROVE YOUR SITUATION BY YOUR OWN EFFORTS. ORIGIN THE ORIGIN OF THIS DESCRIPTIVE PHRASE ISN'T KNOWN. IT REFERS OF COURSE TO BOOTS AND THEIR STRAPS (LACES) AND TO THE IMAGINED FEAT OF A LIFTING ONESELF OFF THE GROUND BY PULLING ON ONE'S BOOTSTRAPS. THIS IMPOSSIBLE TASK IS SUPPOSED TO EXEMPLIFY THE ACHIEVEMENT IN GETTING OUT OF A DIFFICULT SITUATION BY ONE'S OWN EFFORTS. EARLY COMPUTERS USED A PROCESS CALLED BOOTSTRAPPING WHICH ALLUDES TO THIS PHRASE THIS INVOLVED LOADING A SMALL AMOUNT OF CODE WHICH WAS THEN USED TO PROGRESSIVELY LOAD MORE COMPLEX CODE UNTIL THE MACHINE WAS READY FOR USE. THIS HAS LED TO USE OF THE TERM 'BOOTING' TO MEAN STARTING UP A COMPUTER. 4. History of The Boot Process

5. Why an Operating System? Without an Operating System (OS), a computer is nothing more than a useless collection of electronics. The operating system makes the computer usable and stable. List at least four (4) common computer operating systems used today. List at least two (2) mobile device operating systems. The operating system manages all resources on the computer or mobile system.

5. The Operating System is contains 3 components : 1. KERNAL: A program that constitutes the central core of a computer operating system. It has complete control over everything that occurs in the system.operating system 2. BIOS: Basic Input/Output System of your computer, commonly known as the BIOS (pronounced "bye-ose"). On virtually every computer available, the BIOS makes sure all the other chips, hard drives, ports and CPU function together. The primary function of the BIOS is to load and start an operating system. When the PC starts up, the first job for the BIOS is to initialize and identify system devices such as the video display card, keyboard and mouse, hard disk, CD/DVD drive and other hardware.operating systemvideo display cardhard disk 3. DEVICE DRIVERS: A device driver or software driver is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware devices.
