Week 7 - Operating Systems

          In order to visit a website one must have an operating system on one's computer. Examples of operating systems include Microsoft, Unix, Linux and Apple. Operating systems manage hardware and software resources and provides a way for software applications to work with the hardware without having to know details. 

         Without an operating system it would pretty much be impossible to visit the broadway teaser's website. Because the operating systems enable the use of software on a computer, this can be very beneficial to this website. Open source software is and example of a type of software, and it is a source code published and made available to the public who can copy, modify and redistribute without paying royalties or fees. An example of open source software is a droid. 

         A droid is a mobile device, and because so many people spend most of their time on their mobile devices it would be a good idea for the broadway teasers website to make it possible for their website to be accessible on droids, or other mobile devices. If people could view the clips of the shows on their phones it could definitely benefit the website by getting more visitors. A lot of people prefer to use their phone as a computer these days rather then using their actual computers.
