For the last few weeks, I've been toying around with different activities involving OS, or Operating Systems. Here's my insight on the situation.
One, I understand more than I think that I do. I think that the overwhelming part is that all of these OS systems will change within the next five years. I originally knew about OS systems because of games I wanted to play on my computer as a kid. Different games had different system requirements, so I learned what my computer had, and what I could put on it.
Once I got into teaching, I guess I really didn't think about it much. By that, I mean that I had a PC at home for 10 years, and a Mac at school. I was using 2-3 different operation systems without putting a lot of thought into it. Yes, there were some differences, but nothing to the extent that I couldn't use it. I just adjusted and used whatever was in front of me. With Grad. School, I've been the same. I could use a Mac if I needed to. They're just so pricey, I haven't ever seriously considered buying one. Not that I'm cheap, but there is a considerable price difference, and I've been thinking of that over OS systems.
However, a lot of items and assignments have at least opened my eyes to what the OS systems can do. I think the item that stood out the most was the security. It sounds like the Mac OS systems are very strong and protective; I guess I wish I could get similiar feedback about my Windows Vista system!!! Oh well...
So what has this done for me? If anything, it's informed me. I have an idea about what OS systems to maybe think about using in the future, especially when purchasing a new computer. I have a bit of a better understanding about the positives of both, as well as the shortcomings.
Overall, I'm nowhere near a master in this category; on the other hand, I'm not necessarily a goober about it, either.
Well, by all means, please do share your comments below. Thanks, and I'll hear from you soon.
