SOFTWARE AND MULTIMEDIA APPLICATION

Software is of great importance for the computer, since without it it practically does
not work. This is the one that will control the equipment, it is the one that gives the
intrusion so that it works properly, it transfers data both in the same memory and to the
user when he needs it. It is so complex that it has countless programs for different
functions so that there is an order when working with it. The elements that surround it
are of great importance to be able to function since they require a series of systems or
programs that help it perform its functions better.

Computer Hardware is the core of the system but it cannot function without an
operating system.

Operating system is a series of programs that manage the computer's resources, it

indicates how to interact with the user and how to use the devices, it is generally
designed by the manufacturer and therefore it is not possible to define a standard.

Operating software serves as a bridge between computer hardware and application

software. When you buy a computer, the operating system is already installed on the
hard drive and is ready to use. The user perceives what the OS is by observing the
graphical interface with the GUI user (a program that uses a set of images and graphic
objects to represent information and actions available in the interface). Some of the
operating systems: Windows, UNIX and Linux among others.

For an appropriate structuring and organization of the information, an

“interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary effort” is required from the staff of all the
departments affected by the NICT, which is materialized in a work team of the
institution to establish the organization of the information. optimal.

In 1981 the computer only had two specific uses when they were introduced into the
world of public and private organizations. Nowadays, most users have various types of
productivity software installed, which can be any application that helps the user
complete a specific task. In most public or private organizations, regardless of their size,
some connectivity software is required (on local area networks or the Internet), graphics
software (to create and manipulate images), presentation software (to create
presentation modules). intense training, training, management report among others)

OPERATING SYSTEMS
 The three most common operating systems are Windows, Mac OS and Linux.
Windows works on computers with Intel and AMD processors (the most common), Mac
OS only works on Apple computers and Linux works on both platforms, although it is
better prepared for the former. When choosing the operating system, you must take into
account the type of computer you have or are going to purchase, since a wrong choice
will prevent you from installing the desired operating system.

Windows

Microsoft is the computer giant that produces and markets Windows, the
operating system used by 90% of personal computers around the world (its latest
version is Windows XP). Its price is around 120 euros and is often included in the price
of the computer itself (which is around 1,200 euros).

Just as a car is used to move on almost all types of roads, Windows is the de
facto standard that covers the vast majority of the needs of the average user. Whether
you're writing documents, browsing the Internet, listening to music, watching movies,
retouching digital photos, or playing the latest games, Windows is easy to use and set
up, without requiring advanced computer skills. Furthermore, practically all of the
programs on the market have a version for Windows. However, Windows has a
reputation for being unstable, as crashes and crashes are frequent (especially in versions
prior to XP). Its security also leaves much to be desired, as there are many viruses that
take advantage of system failures to infect the PC, such as, for example, the Sasser virus
or the more harmful Chernobyl.

macOS

Mac OS is considered by many experts to be the easiest to use, most innovative

and aesthetically pleasing operating system. Like a sports car, it combines elegance with
high performance, while allowing it to ride on almost any type of road. It is a very easy-
to-use system and it has always boasted that even a child can use it without difficulty
(its mice have a single button, instead of two, so as not to confuse the user).

Its latest version, Mac OS X, is radically different from the previous ones. With
it it has gained stability, security and absence of viruses. The number of programs
available for this platform (especially games) is still not as high as that of Microsoft,
although it meets the needs of any home or professional multimedia user. It is in the
retouching, production and editing of music, photographs and videos where this system
has its strong point. Apple Macintosh sells it at a price of about 150 euros (it is paid and
proprietary). But its greatest cost is not in the use license itself, but rather in the fact that
it only works on computers manufactured by the same company. And these computers
(of very careful quality and design) are not cheap: although there are models below
1,000 euros, it is common for them to cost more than 2,000 euros.

Linux

It is the preferred system for many computer and Internet professionals. As if it

were a 4x4, it offers power, stability, security against viruses and can be used to carry
out any job.

Linux is a free operating system, but it is somewhat more difficult to use

On the other hand, like an all-terrain vehicle, it lacks comfort, is not as easy to
use as the other two and requires technical knowledge to perform some tasks. Even so,
its latest versions are much friendlier, which is why it has begun to catch on among
some home and office users (computer use in office environments).

The collection of programs available in some areas (such as games or

multimedia applications) is still scarce or of poor quality, although it improves every
day. When installing new peripherals, the process is also complicated: while in
Windows and Mac OS it is almost automatic, in Linux it is usually necessary to perform
some manual configuration.

Linux is a somewhat 'romantic' system, as it has been developed voluntarily by

programmers from all over the world. Hence it is free (total freedom to see and modify
the 'innards' of the system) and free (it can be downloaded from the Internet, copied to a
friend or purchased in CD format for about 30 euros).

DEFINITION OF THE COMPUTATIONAL WORK ENVIRONMENT

The world of the computer plays a fundamental role in the modern era in which we
live and without this tool the scientific and technological progress achieved in the 20th
century will be lost, although before that century there were already ideas about how to
facilitate the work of the computer. man.

A computer, scientifically and from a technological point of view, consists of a network

of electronic circuits, which work by activating electromechanical devices that help a
user do their job. The computer is capable of storing numbers, letters, symbols, etc., the
basic idea of computational work indicates that we can do with the machine what we
want by introducing codes and computational technological language.

The basic job of a computer is to process information, for this reason computers
are defined as devices that accept data to perform mathematical and logical operations
in order to reduce information. A computer can solve large problems and do even
thousands of operations without getting tired or bored, in many cases it will take
fractions of a second to solve a problem that would take a human longer.

Computers can replace people, but they work according to instructions that are
provided by a user, a computer cannot do something without a person providing it with
the appropriate information to do it.

ORGANIZATION OF INFORMATION

The organization of information is currently a success factor in companies. The

introduction of the computer into the business world completely revolutionized the
sector. Databases and applications dedicated to optimizing information management
were later developed, due to the relevance of this aspect in the business world.

Years later, it was the Internet that revolutionized the business sector; it began to
control much more information that had to be organized. Good organization guarantees
having accurate information instantly, making it visible only to those users with
sufficient permissions. Furthermore, a good organization allows for great coordination
and communication between members. Other benefits of information organization are
the reduction of costs and effort in projects, by having the documentation of other
projects available in a more efficient way.

INTRODUCTION TO PRODUCTIVITY APPLICATION SOFTWARE

PRODUCTIVITY SOFTWARE

There are two examples of Productivity Software:

• Desk Organizers: Images a typical executive's desk: a big pile of papers in the corner.
In the other is a set of artifacts, such as a telephone, a watch and a card holder. There are
legal documents, the memorandum, forming a mountain of paper in the center, under
which are hidden a calculator and a calendar. The executive is on the phone frantically
trying to find a piece of paper that contains some vital information. Software designers
have thought of a desktop organizer as a solution for such a case. Desk organizers can
include calculators, notepads, automatic bookmarks, agendas, all grouped evidently in
the computer's memory ready for instant access. Desktop organizers reside in RAM,
you simply have to give a command.
• BHSELLSDOS: These software packages allow the user with minimal knowledge of
the operating system to quickly perform tasks such as file copying, the user selects the
files to be copied and indicates where the copies should go. This program uses a mouse
and computer control from the keyboard.

EXPLORING CONNECTIVITY SOFTWARE, GRAPHICS AND

PRESENTATIONS

In most public or private organizations, regardless of their size, some

connectivity software is required (on local area networks or to the Internet), graphics
software (to create, edit and manipulate images, for example photographs to insert into a
brochure on real estate activities, tourism and hospitality, etc.).

Connectivity software includes various communications applications over computer

networks such as:

Basic Communications Software: which interacts with a computer's modem to establish

a link with a remote computer. For example, between the office and the user's home.

Remote Control Software: to transmit data from the home computer to the office
computer and vice versa.

Email: the most frequent communication activity between networks on the Internet is
possible. Allows contact with friends, family, partners and colleagues. It is responsible
for managing the computer's mailbox.

Web Navigation Software: this software, together with the communications software,
allows you to view Web pages and manages the links that the user uses to go from one
document published on the Internet to another.

Graphics Software that the user selects depends on the type of image they want to
create, depending on the use they are going to give it. For example, there are graphic
software packages for managing photographs, painting, drawings and three-dimensional
objects, animations and videos.

INTERNET NAVIGATION

The Internet, the global interconnection of millions of computers that

communicate using TCP/IP protocols, is the star of our times. Currently, it offers a
range of possibilities that rival the most demanding desires of any user. The network is
not static, it changes, transforms and improves, providing increasingly attractive and
efficient services. It is likely that the reader has already tried the taste of the Internet and
some of its services. but it is also likely that you do not know all the possibilities it can
provide. Due to the extent of the subject, this document cannot be exhaustive. It can be
seen as a tourist guide, a promotional brochure, which presents the services and
possibilities (perhaps some less known) of the Internet, motivating to continue
researching, if possible with these same tools. Anyone interested in going deeper can
find very complete and updated pages, recommendations and manuals of the programs
and concepts mentioned, by performing an intelligent search on the Internet.

A browser or web browser (from English, web browser) is an application that

operates through the Internet, interpreting the information from files and websites so
that we can read it, (whether it is hosted on a server within the world wide web. or on a
local server).

The browser interprets the code, generally HTML, in which the web page is written
and presents it on the screen, allowing the user to interact with its content and navigate
to other places on the Internet through links or hyperlinks.

The basic functionality of a web browser is to allow the viewing of text documents,
possibly with embedded multimedia resources. The documents can be located on the
computer where the user is, but they can also be on any other device that is connected to
the user's computer or through the Internet, and that has the necessary resources for the
transmission of the documents (a software Web server). Such documents, commonly

called web pages, have hyperlinks that link a portion of text or an image to another
document, usually related to the text or image.

Following links from one page to another, located on any computer connected to
the Internet, is called browsing, from which the name browser originates (applied to
both the program and the person who uses it, who is also called called netizen). On the
other hand, hojeador is a literal translation of the original in English, browser, although
its use is a minority.
