History of Operating Systems Early computers lacked any form of operating system. The user had sole use of the machine; he would arrive at the machine armed with his program and data‚ often on punched paper tape. The program would be loaded into the machine‚ and the machine set to work‚ until the program stopped‚ or maybe more likely‚ crashed. Programs could generally be debugged via a front panel using switches and lights; it is said that Alan Turing was a master of this on the early Manchester

China-Nim The Chinese had one of the oldest systems of numerals that were based on sticks laid on tables to represent calculations. The Chinese system is also a base-10 system‚ but it has important differences in the way that the numbers are represented. The rod numbers were developed from counting boards‚ which came into use in the fourth century BC. A counting board had squares with rows and columns. Numbers were represented by little rods made from bamboo or ivory. A number was formed in a

SPOL Deming (2016) defined a system as “a network of interdependent components that work together to try to accomplish the aim of the system.” The aim for any system should be everybody gains‚ not one part of the system at the expense of another. Every aspect of the organisation should work in harmony to achieve a shared aim/vision. Guilfoyle (2014) states it’s essential to understand the aim of the system. In context‚ the vision of SFRS is “to make Staffordshire the safest place to be” and the vision

Endocrine System A system of glands and cells that make hormones that are released directly into the blood and travel to tissues and organs all over the body. The endocrine system controls growth‚ sexual development‚ sleep‚ hunger‚ and the way the body uses food. [pic] The human endocrine system modulates several processes of the body by the function of hormones. The endocrine system secretes hormones that control how bodily functions work. Thus‚ the human endocrine system watches over
