ICT refers to all tools used for information and communication, including hardware like computers, tablets, and smartphones, as well as software, websites, and communication networks. An operating system performs basic tasks like booting up a device, managing memory and storage, and allowing interaction through input/output devices. Operating systems can be classified based on their interface (GUI vs. CUI), number of users supported (single vs. multi-user), and processing capability (single vs. multi-processing). Common operating systems include Windows, Mac OS, Android, Linux, and mobile operating systems.
