DESKTOPIt’s what shows up on the computer monitor when it’s running.

THOSE ARE ALL ICONS.
See those small pictures on your desktop.
Each of those pictures (Icons) will open a program or file when you click on them.

System is your computer Software tells the computer what to do.
Let’s break the term down:
![Page 7: Fill out the Worksheet as you watch this most fun and](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5482f8a75906b58a158b45ec/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
So Operating System Software is the software program responsible for running your computer.
Without it, you’re computer wouldn’t turn on.

What OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE do we use?
WINDOWS!

Does this help-There are only 2 types:
PC (Personal Computer)
and Macintosh
PC’s operating system software is Windows.
Macintosh’s operating system software is OS10.

The combination of the type of computer and its Operating System Software is called …
Let’s try again.

Any idea what a GUI is?
What if I told you GUI stands for Graphical User Interface?
Does that help?
Moving on…
![Page 13: Fill out the Worksheet as you watch this most fun and](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5482f8a75906b58a158b45ec/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What if I told you Windows is a GUI...
Now do you know?
NO? Give up??
![Page 14: Fill out the Worksheet as you watch this most fun and](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5482f8a75906b58a158b45ec/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A Graphical User Interface is a computer program that uses graphics (pictures) to represent programs and folders
Remember: Windows is a GUI
![Page 15: Fill out the Worksheet as you watch this most fun and](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5482f8a75906b58a158b45ec/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Let’s break the term down so you understand it.
Graphic means picture
User is who’s using the computer…YOU
Inter means between, and face means surface. So an Interface enables a user to interact with a computer surface (desktop) using graphics (icons).
![Page 16: Fill out the Worksheet as you watch this most fun and](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5482f8a75906b58a158b45ec/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Before Graphical User Interfaces came along, there were no graphics on the computer screen.
It was a black screen with text….THAT”S IT!
![Page 17: Fill out the Worksheet as you watch this most fun and](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5482f8a75906b58a158b45ec/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
When the document opened, it was again, just a black screen with words. No windows, no drop down menus, no toolbars…just a black screen with text…kinda like this.
To get the computer to do something back then, you had to type in the correct command.
For example, to open a document you would type in:
c:\>open assignment.doc
![Page 18: Fill out the Worksheet as you watch this most fun and](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5482f8a75906b58a158b45ec/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Ahh, those were the days. Memorizing commands just to open, save, copy, modify, and print documents (to name a few). Only simple documents could be created, and a book listing all the computer commands was necessary.
![Page 19: Fill out the Worksheet as you watch this most fun and](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5482f8a75906b58a158b45ec/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Then along came Graphical User Interfaces and mice and the computer world was changed for ever. All we have to do now is click on a picture and the file is opened. Computers are so much easier to use with GUI’s.

What does it mean to MULTITASK?
If you said to do more than one thing at the same time, you’re right!
![Page 21: Fill out the Worksheet as you watch this most fun and](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5482f8a75906b58a158b45ec/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Computers can
MULTITASK. They can do more than
one thing at a time.

If Operating System Software runs the computer, what do Application Software Programs do?
I’m glad you asked…
![Page 23: Fill out the Worksheet as you watch this most fun and](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5482f8a75906b58a158b45ec/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Applications are software programs YOU yourself choose to put on your computer that perform specific tasks. Examples are Word, Games, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, etc.
![Page 24: Fill out the Worksheet as you watch this most fun and](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5482f8a75906b58a158b45ec/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
When you load APPLICATION SOFTWARE PROGRAMS on your computer you are loading instructions.
These instructions tell your computer what to do and what to show on the desktop.

Let’s talk MENUS-“I’ll have a Veggie burger with fries, please.”
No, not that kind of menu.
Menus give you a list of choices. For example, when you right click on your desktop you get a menu with different options that you can choose from
