CAT EBOOK FOR GRADE 12 (SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY).pptx
- 2. Presentation compiled by Sinenhlanhla Vilakazi. A student teacher at the University of Johannesburg
- 3. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND OF COMPUTER APPLICATIONS TECHNOLOGY
- 4. AIMS OF COMPUTER APPLICATIONS TECHNOLOGY CAT will ensure that learners are equipped with marketable skills to cope in an information society. Although CAT is located within the Information Technology and Computer Sciences sub-field, this subject is complementary to all other subjects in the Further Education and Training band. It also makes it possible for learners to collect, analyse and edit data and to manipulate, process, present and communicate information to different sectors of society.
- 5. The focus of this presentation will be on Systems Technologies
- 6. Unit 4 System software and computer management (Term 3) 1 Role of the operating system The operating system is a set of programs responsible for controlling a computer. The operating system maintains system software, runs applications and controls hardware devices. Provides the user with an interface to tell the operating system what to do. 1.1 Starting the computer Booting is the start-up procedure in which a computer checks that all its parts are working and the loads the operating system.
- 7. 1.2 Providing a user interface The user interface is a way in which a user can control the computer. Known as a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Uses graphical elements such as icons, buttons, tabs and drop-down boxes instead of text commands instead of text commands.
- 8. 1.3 Managing applications The operating system manages all of the applications within the computer system. While the application is busy the OS assigns and controls system resources needed. The operating system provides input from the user and returns the output. 1.3.1 Controls single users and multiple users Single-user operating systems only allow one user to work on the computing device at any time. Single-user operating systems can connect to networks in order to use or share resources. Multi-user computers are good solutions in situations where space and finances are an issue. This usually includes the use of thin clients and servers or mainframes. Thin clients contain the absolute minimum hardware as most of the processing and storage happens on the server/mainframe.
