Todays operating systems include a variety of features. They support a graphical user interface, monitor performance, and administer security. Most operating systems also include a variety of utility programs. These utilities offer functions such as managing files, viewing images, uninstalling programs, diagnosing problems, scanning disks, defragmenting disks, backing up files and disks, and displaying screen savers. Do you think an operating system should include these features? Are these features useful? What other features could be included in an operating system? If you were to write an overview of the perfect opepprating system, what features would you include? Some word processing features should be used with discretion. Overzealous use of a spelling checker in a Wall Street Journal article caused the name Clyde Leff to appear as Cloyed Elf. Even a spelling checker cannot ensure that all words in a document will be spelled correctly. As an extreme example, the sentence, I here ewe deer, but I am busy write now clearly is incorrect, but it would go unnoticed by a spelling checker. Will spelling checkers, thesauruses, and grammar checkers some day eliminate the need to learn spelling, vocabulary, and grammatical rules? Why or why not? Johann Guttenbergs introduction of movable type in the 15th century and the subsequent development of the printing press had a profound impact on Western thought. Books once available only to a privileged elite became accessible to a much wider audience, thereby broadening the distribution of ideas. Some believe web page authoring software, desktop publishing software, presentation graphics software, multimedia authoring software, and other applications that help people communicate more effectively will have a similar impact. Unpublished authors can use these applications to produce works that, because of their professional looking appearance, are considered thoughtfully and circulated extensively. Will these applications really help give previously unheard speakers a louder voice? Why or why not? What effect, if any, will these applications have on the delivery, and possible acceptance, of material that reflects unconventional, or not generally accepted, ideas?
