Write any two system software and two application software installed on your computer.
Two System Software:
-
Operating System (e.g., Ubuntu) – It is the most basic system software that operates the computer and manages other application programs. Without it, other software cannot work.
-
Device Drivers – These are system software that enable the computer to communicate with hardware devices like printers, keyboards, and mouse.
Two Application Software:
-
Text Editor – It is an application software used for creating and editing text documents.
-
General Purpose Software – These are application software designed for common tasks like word processing, spreadsheets, etc., catering to different requirements of end-users.
Explanation
According to the textbook, system software provides basic functionality to operate a computer by interacting directly with hardware. Examples include operating systems, system utilities, and device drivers. Application software works on top of system software to cater to different requirements of end-users. The context explicitly mentions Ubuntu as an operating system and text editor as application software. Students can also mention other examples like compilers, assemblers (system software) or any general purpose software (application software) based on their personal computer.
