Section 1 - Introduction
Computers use the operating system to manage all the related
tasks needed to run the computer and its input and output
devices. The Macintosh operating system translates information
into a graphical user interface (GUI) that is easier to understand.
The GUI allows the user to input information by clicking icons
or symbols rather than typing lines of code. One of the major
components of the GUI on the Macintosh operating system is
the desktop.
In this lesson you will be provided with general information
about how operating systems work, and then you will learn about
the desktop for the Macintosh OS.
