🖥️Operating System - ICT Grade 10 note

✅ Why Do We Need an Operating System in ICT?

⚙️ Controls Hardware: The OS helps your keyboard, mouse, screen, and printer work together
🛡️ Runs Programs: Apps like Microsoft Word, Chrome, and games run on top of the OS
📂 Manages Files: Helps you open, save, delete, and organize your files
🌍 Connects to Networks: Allows your device to connect to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and the internet
🔄 Manages Memory & Power: Controls how much memory each app uses and helps save battery life on laptops and phones

⚠️ Things to Remember

🔄 Keep It Updated: Regular updates fix bugs and protect against viruses
🛡️ Use Safe Apps: Install apps only from trusted sources (Microsoft Store, Google Play, App Store)
🔐 Control Permissions: Set who can access your files and apps
📂 Learn to Navigate: Know how to use the settings, file manager, and task manager (or activity monitor on Mac)
🔌 Restart Regularly: Restart your device once in a while to refresh the system

💡 Extra Tip:
There are graphical operating systems (with icons and windows, like Windows and macOS) and command-line operating systems (where you type commands, like Linux Terminal).

The operating system makes your device usable. It controls everything behind the scenes so you can work, play, and browse the internet easily.
