Operating systems communicate with the device’s hardware. They handle everything from your keyboard and mice to the Wi-Fi radio, storage devices, and display.

 In other words, an operating system handles input and output devices. Operating systems use device drivers written by hardware creators to communicate with their devices.       ]]> 2019-11-22 11:05:44 UTC https://padlet.com/celialeante/d6vcrti5ws5y/wish/415183619 Parts of an operating system: celialeante https://padlet.com/celialeante/d6vcrti5ws5y/wish/415184431 Shell: it is the outer part of an operating system and it is responsible of interacting with the operating system.
