1. Describe system software. Discuss each of the four types of system programs.
“System Software,” automatically runs, handling technical details with the use of operating systems of; utilities, device drivers, operating systems, and language translators. The “utilities” are specialize-programs that make computing easier; like antivirus programs use to clean/protect the user’s computer, or backup programs in case the user’s computer crash and data is lost. “Device drivers” allow communication between computer and device, but in the computer tower, they also have internal storage devise. An “Operating system” is use to help open and maintain multiple programs, so for example: a user can open an application and antivirus program, let the virus sweep and check for virus while using the application. Last, “language translators” is a software that can automatically translate one language a user can’t read, to one that they can read.
