Why do we need it?
In: Technology
Imagine you’re writing a really simple app on a phone.
If you started with nothing, you would need to write all the software to deal with detecting finger swipes, providing a keyboard for users to type into, a way to draw something on the screen, etc. You’d (probably) years of work before you even started working on your app.
Instead, you get to start that stuff done already for you. And everyone else can start with it too.
That’s an OS.
