First |Generation |(1946 |- |1959) |- | |correct |answers |Vacuum |Tubes
Second |Generation |(1959 |- |1965) |- | |correct |answers |Transistors
Third |Generation |(1965 |- |1971) |- | |correct |answers |Integrated |Circuits
Fourth |Generation |(1971 |- |present) |- | |correct |answers |Microprocessors
Fifth |Generation |(Present |- |Future) |- | |correct |answers |Artificial |Intelligence
System |Software |- | |correct |answers |performs |tasks |that |are |common |to |computer |systems |in |
general. |The |system |software |provides |the |infrastructure |needed |to |run |application |software, |
allowing |it |to |interface |with |the |hardware |of |the |computer |system.
Application |Software |- | |correct |answers |consists |of |the |programs |that |perform |tasks |specific |to
|the |machine's |general |purpose. |A |computer |used |to |maintain |a |store's |inventory |needs |
different |software |than |a |machine |used |by |a |mechanical |engineer. |Spreadsheet, |database, |
desktop |publishing, |accounting, |and |program |development |software |are |all |examples |of |
application |software.
Software |Hierarchy |- | |correct |answers |
Application |Software |Types |- | |correct |answers |Spreadsheets, |web |browser, |accounting, |etc.
, System |Software |Types |- | |correct |answers |Microsoft |Windows, |Linux, |Mac |OS |X, |DOS, |etc.
Operating |System |(OS) |- | |correct |answers |is |software |that |manages |computer |hardware |and |
software |resources |and |provides |common |services |for |computer |programs
- |performs |basic |tasks |such |as: |file |management, |memory |management, |process |management,
|handling |input |and |output, |and |controlling |peripheral |devices |such |as |drives |and |printers
Three |of |the |most |common |operating |systems |- | |correct |answers |Microsoft |Windows, |MacOs, |
and |Linux
Utility |Software |- | |correct |answers |provides |additional |functionality |to |the |operating |system
examples: |software |to |compress |or |decompress |data, |play |multimedia |presentations, |and |
handle |network |communications
Kernel |- | |correct |answers |is |the |internal |part |of |an |operating |system |(contains |the |basic |
functions |of |the |OS) |It's |the |underlying |ode |that |runs |the |OS, |allowing |it |to |perform |required |
tasks |such |as |running |applications |and |managing |peripherals |like |memory |and |graphics
Device |Drivers |(middleware) |- | |correct |answers |facilitate |the |communication |of |hardware |and |
software
- |A |print |driver |needs |to |be |installed |if |a |user |wants |to |send |a |document |to |the |printer. |A |
Bluetooth |headphone |driver |is |necessary |if |a |user |wants |to |listen |to |music |on |Bluetooth |
headphones. |Some |device |drivers |are |installed |automatically, |while |others |would |need |to |be |
downloaded |and |installed |from |the |manufacturers' |sites.
