And what role does my electronic device play? The operating system is the most important program that runs on a computer. Every computer in general must have an operating system to run other programs.<\/p>\n<p>The first actual digital computer was designed by the English mathematician Charles Babbage (1792\u20131871). Although Babbage spent much of his life and fortune trying to build his &#8216;analytical engine&#8217;, he never managed to work properly because it was purely mechanical, and the technology of his day could not produce the wheels, gears, and wheels necessary for the high precision required. he needs. Needless to say, the analytics engine does not have an operating system.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\">As an interesting history aside, Babbage realized he would need software for his analytical engine, so he hired a young woman named Ada Lovelace, who was the daughter of the famous English poet Lord Byron, as the world&#8217;s first programmer.\u00a0<\/span>Ada&#8217;s programming language\u00a0is named after him.<\/p>\n<p>The operating system performs basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to a screen, keeping track of files and directories on\u00a0disk\u00a0, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and\u00a0printers\u00a0.\u00a0An operating system can relate to the knowledge given to the computer brain in order to understand what functions are required to perform a job.<\/p>\n<p>Operating systems can be found on a countless number of items including cell phones, ATM machines, and even many cars today use them.\u00a0Still most people are familiar with the OS offerings from\u00a0Microsoft\u00a0(Windows),\u00a0Apple (OS X\u00a0), and to a lesser extent, Linux\/GNU (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc).<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s see how the <a href=\"https:\/\/matob.web.id\/news\/history-of-the-development-of-computers-and-operating-systems\/\">history of the development of operating systems<\/a> moves and continues to develop to this day.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Sistem_Operasi_Generasi_Pertama_1940_hingga_awal_1950-an\">FIRST GENERATION\u00a0OPERATING SYSTEMS\u00a0(1940S TO EARLY 1950S)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When electronic computers where first introduced in the 1940&#8217;s they were created without an operating system.\u00a0All programming is done in absolute machine language, often with cables to plugboards to control basic machine functions.\u00a0During this generation computers are generally used to solve simple mathematical calculations, operating systems are not always needed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1350\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1350\" style=\"width: 946px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1350\" src=\"https:\/\/matob.web.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Wartime_picture_of_a_Bletchley_Park_Bombe.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"946\" height=\"840\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/matob.web.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Wartime_picture_of_a_Bletchley_Park_Bombe.jpg 946w, https:\/\/matob.web.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Wartime_picture_of_a_Bletchley_Park_Bombe-300x266.jpg 300w, https:\/\/matob.web.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/11\/Wartime_picture_of_a_Bletchley_Park_Bombe-768x682.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 946px) 100vw, 946px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1350\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alan Turing Machine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span id=\"Sistem_Operasi_Generasi_Kedua_1955-1965\">SECOND GENERATION OPERATING SYSTEM (1955-1965)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first operating system was introduced in the early 1950s, it was called AGM and was created by General Motors for the IBM 701 machine.
