1
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:15,480
Well, now we are going to know something about software, which is the logically part of our computer and is the functional one.

2
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:34,479
Well, software has an intellectual property, so it can be registered and it can be under author rights.

3
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:44,479
So there are some software which is commercial and you must pay to use them.

4
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:55,479
But on the other hand, you can also have open software that you can change if you want, and usually it is free.

5
00:00:55,479 --> 00:01:09,480
Apart from this, software can be very basic, operating system, application, or it can also be programs.

6
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:30,659
In this unit, we are going to use an operating system, which is the software that let us use the computers, its hardware, and also the application and the organization of our digital production.

7
00:01:30,659 --> 00:01:43,480
Its main functions are obviously manage the hardware, manage the drivers of our hardware,

8
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:50,939
and always the store information, the documents that we had produced using computer.

9
00:01:50,939 --> 00:01:59,780
And obviously nowadays it's also very, very important to share communications and to let

10
00:01:59,780 --> 00:02:04,900
connect our computer with other computers in order to work in it.

11
00:02:09,909 --> 00:02:20,389
Windows is, as we have already said, a commercial software. It also is multi-user and multi-tasking

12
00:02:21,349 --> 00:02:28,150
and one of its main characteristics is its environment which is graphical.

13
00:02:28,150 --> 00:02:39,150
So you can access easily to the applications and to the function of the operating system.

14
00:02:39,150 --> 00:02:49,150
When you switch on your computer, the first thing that you can see is the desktop.

15
00:02:49,150 --> 00:02:56,150
Well, the most important in desktop obviously is that there are two parts, two main parts.

16
00:02:56,150 --> 00:03:07,270
The work place, the work space and also the taskbar, that you can move the taskbar.

17
00:03:07,270 --> 00:03:10,090
You can see so many draws.

18
00:03:10,090 --> 00:03:18,789
All these draws usually are short cuts of application and so on, and you can, as the

19
00:03:18,789 --> 00:03:29,430
program is multitasking in the taskbar you can see the these icons in the taskbar if you are

20
00:03:30,469 --> 00:03:43,780
using this application. To control your system you need to have under control obviously

21
00:03:43,780 --> 00:03:51,060
the hardware and the software of your computer so to do this you usually use the control

22
00:03:51,060 --> 00:03:58,819
panel in the control panel you can change the configuration of the hardware for example

23
00:03:59,539 --> 00:04:07,539
as we can do as we we are going to do a practice about this and also you cannot you can change the

24
00:04:08,099 --> 00:04:15,460
application and the software in your computer so it's very important for all of us the control

25
00:04:15,460 --> 00:04:22,899
panel has this function just only to to control and to change the the characteristic of the

26
00:04:22,899 --> 00:04:33,379
software and hardware that is in your computer and it is not only in a in a computer you can

27
00:04:33,379 --> 00:04:42,100
also have in a laptop and also in other electronic devices you always have something that can call

28
00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:52,120
configuration or so on that has this function. The other important part of the computer is obviously

29
00:04:54,279 --> 00:05:02,279
to organize your digital production but why we usually call windows windows because

30
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:11,879
the graphical environment has windows and the windows usually have what you have see here

31
00:05:11,879 --> 00:05:22,879
You have three main buttons, which are to Minify, Minimize, Maximize or Close a window.

32
00:05:22,879 --> 00:05:32,879
But you also have a File menu, the title of the bar, which is the title of the application that you are open,

33
00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:42,879
and horizontal scroll, arrow scroll, vertical scroll, and so on.

34
00:05:42,879 --> 00:05:46,879
They are the different elements in one window.

35
00:05:46,879 --> 00:05:56,879
And they are in all the applications and in all what you want to do in your Windows operating system.

36
00:05:56,879 --> 00:06:08,319
To organize stories, we have two elements that are very important.

37
00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:11,319
One of them is the folders.

38
00:06:11,319 --> 00:06:17,319
The folders can be organized in what is usually called the folders tree.

39
00:06:17,319 --> 00:06:21,319
Each folder has different characteristics.

40
00:06:21,319 --> 00:06:24,319
It has a name, firstly.

41
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:27,319
It is the characteristic of a folder.

42
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:35,199
A folder can have another folder inside and also obviously files.

43
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:49,220
You can do so many operations with folders such as create, copy and paste, delete, rename

44
00:06:49,220 --> 00:06:51,160
and select it.

45
00:06:51,160 --> 00:07:00,699
And if you want to know a folder, you need to know its path, because this is where you

46
00:07:00,699 --> 00:07:09,399
can find this folder, and to find you also can use a searching machine that is inside

47
00:07:09,399 --> 00:07:10,399
of your computer.

48
00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:21,379
You can have files, files are the documents that you produce using the computer, and each

49
00:07:21,379 --> 00:07:24,439
This file has different characteristics.

50
00:07:24,439 --> 00:07:26,500
One characteristic is its name.

51
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:31,620
Its name is for just only this file and not for another.

52
00:07:31,620 --> 00:07:38,579
You can identify one document by its name, but also using the format.

53
00:07:38,579 --> 00:07:48,000
The format tells you what type of document it is.

54
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:59,639
So it's so important because it tells you what kind of program or what kind of application

55
00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:09,180
you must use to edit it and to change it or just only to see what you have to open it.

56
00:08:09,180 --> 00:08:14,240
So here you have different formats and types.

57
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:21,279
example this is test documents, this is pictures, you can also have videos,

58
00:08:21,279 --> 00:08:30,920
presentation, audios for example mp3 is for audios and here for videos mp4, so

59
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:40,639
you can know what type of document is by using its format. Well this is the

60
00:08:40,639 --> 00:08:48,799
theory but as you can imagine the most important of this is not theory is that

61
00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:59,879
you can use your computer and you can do as much exercise as you can so now we

62
00:08:59,879 --> 00:09:06,919
will do the exercise because it's the most important of this part
