Answer to Question 2

System software consists of programs that let the computer manage its resources. The most important piece of system software is the operating system. The operating system is a group of programs that manage and organize the resources of the computer. It controls the hardware, manages basic input and output operations, keeps track of your files saved on disk and in memory, and directs communication between the central processing unit (CPU) and other pieces of hardware. It coordinates how other programs work with the hardware and with each other. Operating systems also provide the user interfacethat is, the way the user communicates with the computer.
Application software allows you to apply computer technology to a task you need done. Application packages are available for many needs. Word-processing software allows you to enter text. Electronic spreadsheets allow you to process numerical data. Database management software permits you to manage large quantities of data in an organized fashion. Communications software includes Web browsers, such as Internet Explorer. These programs allow you to connect your computer to other computers in a network.
