What are the application programs and the operating system programs?
Application programs - they are designed to perform specific tasks. Widely used application programs include:- *Word processing*Spread sheet programs*Data base progrms*Graphics programs*Accounting programs*Utility Programs Norton UtilityOperating System- they are a set of instructions that enables the computer hardware and software to interact.
Are there any other specific software programs applications and online resources that you have found particularly useful in your current computer's operating system?

How does the operating system interact with computer?
Simplified it grants you access to the hardware. Without an operating system your computer is just a bunch of chips and cables, it's the OS that tells the processor what to do, manages the memory and lets you, and programs, interact with all the components, so it's the interface between user and hardware. If you are looking for more specific informations about OS you can find those on many (online-) computer or generic encyclopedias such as wikipedia.
Distinguish between Application software and System software?
Computer programs, procedures and data that direct the operation of a computer constitutes a software. While system software controls and manages computer hardware, application software helps users accomplish specific tasks.
Why do you need a device driver on your computer?
A device driver is a set of rules and instructions that your operating system uses to know how to communicate with a specific piece of hardware like a scanner, printer and even the video and sound cards on your computer. As you get different types of printers, video cards, sound cards, etc your operating system needs this driver information to know how to send instructions to these devices in order for it to use them correctly.
What is the transmission protocol between a computer and a peripheral device?
The way a computer communicates with a peripheral device is through a device driver. A device driver is a low level computer program that allows higher level programs to communicate with a hardware device connected to the computer bus. Device drivers are hardware dependent and specific to an operating system.
What is the transmission between a computer and it's peripheral devices?
The way a computer communicates with a peripheral device is through a device driver. A device driver is a low level computer program that allows higher level programs to communicate with a hardware device connected to the computer bus. Device drivers are hardware dependent and specific to an operating system.
Is a moniter harware or software?
A computer monitor - is a piece of hardware.
Can you explain the difference between hardware and software?
Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer system, such as the processor, memory, and hard drive. Software, on the other hand, refers to the programs and applications that run on the hardware to perform specific tasks. In simple terms, hardware is the physical stuff you can touch, while software is the programs that tell the hardware what to do.
Why to take only computer science?
Computer science encompasses a variety of topics relating to computation, ranging from abstract analysis of algorithms and formal grammars, to subjects like programming languages, software, and computer hardware. Computer scientists study what programs can and cannot do , how programs can efficiently perform specific tasks (see algorithms and complexity), how programs should store and retrieve specific kinds of information (see data structures and data bases), how programs might behave intelligently (see artificial intelligence), and how programs and people should communicate with each other (see human-computer interaction and user interfaces). Edsger Dijkstra said: "Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes."
What contains events generated by specific programs running on the computer?

What makes a computer work?
Hardware - the physical components, both internal and external, that make up a computer. Operating System - a set of computer programs that manages the hardware of a computer. An operating system controls the resources on a computer, including memory and disk storage. An example of an operating system is Windows XP. Application Software - programs loaded on the computer to perform a specific function using the capabilities of the computer. An example of application software is a word processor or a computer game
What is the difference between hardware and software in computing?
Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer system, such as the processor, memory, and storage devices. Software, on the other hand, refers to the programs and applications that run on the hardware to perform specific tasks. In simple terms, hardware is the physical machinery, while software is the instructions that tell the hardware what to do.
What is the Difference Between Operating system and System utilities?
An operating system is a software program that enables a computer to run. It allows a hardware to communicate and operate with a software. System utilities, on the other hand, is a software program that performs a specific task. Examples of these are anti-virus programs, word processors, and spreadsheets.
What are the application programs and the operating system programs?
Application programs - they are designed to perform specific tasks. Widely used application programs include:- *Word processing*Spread sheet programs*Data base progrms*Graphics programs*Accounting programs*Utility Programs Norton UtilityOperating System- they are a set of instructions that enables the computer hardware and software to interact.
What is application packaging?
An application package is a bundle of two or more computer programs that complete specific tasks. It is a specialized software program that can include hardware combined with remote inputs and outputs.
What is the driver in the computer?
Driver is piece of software that knows how to communicate with specific hardware. For example when you plug your printer for the first time Windows operating system (and other too) does now know how to use this device. After installing the driver operating system will know that hardware that you plugged in is printer and how to control it. Just for better understanding: Operating System (Kernel) <----> Device Driver <----> Real Hardware
