Operating System
Imagine if there was a teleportation technology that was
able to teleport students to classes? Imagine that. Anyway to a more realistic
idea, imagine if like there was facial recognition technology installed in
every hall. This idea might be somewhat out of the realm to others but I
believe that if this existed it would make the lives of college students
especially SU students easier. With the facial recognition technology students
can have access to their halls easier, faster and more efficient rather than to
wait in a long line for check-ins.
This week’s lecture of operating systems thought me
personally that for my idea of facial recognition technology to work I would
need a set of software programs. These
programs will contain instructions that work together to coordinate all the
activities among computer hardware resources. With the knowledge that operating
system performs functions such as starting and shutting down a computer,
providing a user interface, managing programs, managing memory, coordinating
task, configuring devices, establishing an internet connection, monitoring
performance, providing file management and other utilities and automatically
updating itself, it will be an essential tool to manage and perform within my
technology.
However, with the size of my technology, it would have to
use a different size operating system because operating system are written to
run on a specific type of computer. I would purchase the cross platform program
because it runs on the same on multiple operating systems. With that I can
install the software programs, which will run on all the facial recognition
technology throughout campus.
So if anything was to happen to the system as in not
functioning at its best I would be able to shut it off and restore everything back
to normal. Meaning I can reboot the system if the technology wasn’t working
perfectly. With the user interface I can manipulate the data stored in the technology
to adjust to any changes as to if a student changed majors or halls, I can
adjust the system to recognize the student and the changes.
