We all have played with a remote-controlled toy car in our childhood. If we press the forward button on the remote, the car moves in the forward direction. If we press the left button, the car moves left, and so on. So, just like the remote control guides the toy car to perform various actions, the software gives instructions to computer hardware to perform various tasks. A computer is a machine that cannot think on its own. To make it do anything, we have to give it instructions, which we call programs. These instructions are written in computer languages.
Software Software is a set of programs that is installed and run on computer hardware that helps users to interact with the computer. Software is an intangible part of a computer, which means that it cannot be touched.
Did You Know?
Software started to be marketed on floppy disks in the 1980s, and then on CDs and DVDs. Most software is now bought and downloaded from the internet.
Types of Software There are two types of software: system software and application software. Let us learn about both of these software in detail.
System Software System software is responsible for managing and controlling the overall functioning of a computer system. This software provides essential services and functionalities to allow application software to run efficiently. System software reads data from the input devices and transfers processed information to the output devices. There are three types of system software: Operating system, utility software, and language processor.

Operating System An operating system is the initial system software that loads on to computer memory when you turn on a computer. An operating system acts as an interface between a user and a computer system and is, therefore, a crucial requirement for a computer to function. Some examples of operating systems include Microsoft Windows, macOS, Android, Linux, and Unix.
MS Windows
macOS
Android
Linux
Functions of an Operating System An operating system carries out various important functions that help in the smooth running of a computer. Here are a few functions of an operating system:
An operating system manages everything on the computer. This program makes sure that all the games, apps, programs, applications, and files work together.
It allocates and deallocates memory space to running processes, ensuring efficient use of RAM.
It is easy to use. You can click icons and buttons because the operating system provides you a friendly way to talk to the computer.
An operating system protects a computer from viruses and hackers. This software also checks who is allowed to use which resources on the computer.
An operating system detects and handles errors or crashes, preventing a single application or hardware issue from crashing the entire system.

Utility Software Utility software is a type of system software that provides essential tools and functionalities to maintain, optimise, or troubleshoot a computer system. These tools are intended to improve the overall performance and security of a computer system. Users often install these tools alongside their primary applications to ensure that their systems run efficiently and securely. Some common examples of utility software include antivirus software, disk cleanup and defragmentation tools, backup and recovery software, file compression software, and firewalls. File Manager: File manager helps users organise, navigate, and manage files and folders on their computer hard drives, external drives, etc. File Explorer of Windows is the most commonly used file management utility software.

Disk Management: Disk management is the software tool or utility that is used to manage data storage devices by performing various operations like managing drives, formatting disks, verifying the integrity of disks, and partitioning drives. Backup Utility: Backup software is used to create duplicates of important files and data stored on a computer. These duplicate copies, known as backups, are typically stored in secure locations such as cloud storage or external hard drives. The primary purpose of backup software is to safeguard your data against potential loss resulting from hardware failures, human errors, or other unforeseen circumstances. Compression: Compression refers to the process of reducing the size of data. This technique helps decrease the number of bits and bytes required to represent information in a file. Compression serves several purposes, including conserving storage capacity, speeding file transfers, and lowering the costs associated with data storage. One common usage of compression is to archive several files into a single compressed folder using ZIP files.

Language Processor Computers can only understand and execute programs written in machine language, which consists of binary code made up of strings of 0’s and 1’s. A language processor is used for translating high-level programming languages, which are human-readable and easier for programmers to work with, into machine language. Without language processors, programmers would have to build applications directly in machine code, which is difficult and prone to mistakes. There are three types of language translators: assembler, interpreter, and compiler. Assembler: An assembler is a translator that converts the code written in assembly language into machine language. Interpreter: Interpreters work sequentially, reading one line of source code at a time and executing it immediately. If an interpreter finds a mistake, it stops and when you fix the mistake, it moves on to the next part of the program, repeating the same process. Compiler: A compiler is a type of a language processor that takes the entire source code of a high-level programming language and translates it into machine code or an intermediate code in a single step. A compiler generates the object code for the program along with the list of errors. The code cannot be executed until these errors are fixed. 22

Application Software Application software is a type of computer software designed to perform specific tasks, such as word processing, creating presentations, web browsing, email communication, doing calculations, and editing images. There are two types of application software: General purpose application software and special purpose application software.

Ways to Connect to the Internet The availability of the methods to connect to the internet may depend on your location. Here are some common methods: 1. Wired connection (using cables): This connection uses copper or fibre optic cables to transmit data. Wired connections are known for their reliability and speed. They are often used in homes and businesses where stable and high-speed internet access is required. They are also known as broadband connections. 2. Wireless connection (using signals): Wireless connections use radio waves to transmit data between devices and a router. This method is highly convenient as it eliminates the need for physical cables. Wi-Fi is one of the most commonly used wireless connections. 3. Cellular connection: Cellular connections use mobile networks and cell towers to provide internet access. They are widely used for mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. These devices have data limitations and varying speeds based on their network coverage.

Introduction to Presentations When you share an idea or a thought with an audience, a visual representation—with pictures, words, videos, and sound—makes this task much easier. This helps to get the message across to the audience. Such sharing also helps the audience to visualise the idea and makes them interested in what you’re saying. Now, imagine that you are standing in front of your class, showing them a beautiful presentation while explaining your science project! A presentation is a way to share information, ideas, or stories using a combination of pictures, text, and sometimes even audio or video.

Inserting Charts Charts are graphics or visual representations that are used to display and compare data easily. Charts make your information more interesting and easier to understand. There are different kinds of charts in Google Slides, such as: • Bar chart: A bar chart represents data using bars of different lengths, which are arranged sideways.
• Column chart: A column chart represents data using bars of different heights, which are arranged like columns. • Line chart: A line chart represents data using a series of points, which are connected by a line. • Pie chart: A pie chart represents data using ‘slices’ of a whole circle. The size of each ‘slice’ shows how much value that specific ‘slice’ holds.

A new Google Sheet opens, containing a table. This is where we will add the data, that is, the number of elephants in the four states. Google Sheets is another app by Google which is used to record and work with numbers, words, formulas, etc. You will learn more about it in the next chapters. For now, we will write the number of elephants for each state in this table. This data will be reflected directly on the chart.

Working with Master Slide The Master Slide is like the main slide. Think of it as a slide that allows you to change the appearance of your entire presentation all at once. Suppose, we want the image of our national flag on all of our slides. What would we do? We could add the image in each of the slides, resizing and placing it how we want it to be. But if you have 15 slides, would it not be easier if we could make the changes in one slide and it could reflect on all the slides? Here, the master slide comes into play. In Google Slides, we have the Edit theme option of the Slide menu, which helps us reflect one change in all the slides. When you use a theme, it changes the colours, fonts, and background designs of all your slides. Let us understand by following the steps given below: 1. Click the Slide menu in the menu bar.
2. Select the Edit theme option from the drop-down list. 1

Applying Animations In our previous chapter, we explored how to create effective presentations. However, the presentation did not have anything that moved and was animated in any way. So, is there a way that you can make those additions to your slides? Of course, you can! You can do it by using animation. Now, let us understand what animation is. Animation is a process through which you can bring still objects, such as text, shapes, images, charts, and logos, ‘to life’ by making them move. Animation is a great tool with which you can make your presentation lively and engaging. You can add one animation effect to multiple objects or add more than one animation effect to a single object. It enables you to control the flow of information presented or convey processes and alterations with greater efficiency. It also helps you connect with your audience in a better way. But applying too many animations distracts the audience from the actual content. So let us start with how to add animation to your slides. We will use the same project that you created in the last chapter.
Did You Know?
The word “Animation” comes from the Latin word “Anima”, which means “soul”. So, the process of animation refers to making characters come to life.
Adding Animation Let us learn how to add animation to our presentation. Open the presentation on “Seven Sister States of India” in Google Slides. Follow the steps given below to add animation to different objects on a slide: 1. Select an object on a slide that you want to animate. 2. Click the Insert menu in the menu bar. 3. Select the Animation option from the drop-down list. The Motion pane will open on the right side. Chapter 7 • Animations and Transitions on Google Slides

If the object is a placeholder or text box, the By paragraph check box is displayed. If this check box is checked, each paragraph of text in the box is displayed one by one. Otherwise, the entire box will be displayed at once. 7. If you want to add more animations, you can select an object and click the Add animation option. 8. Click the Play button to check how that animation effect works on the selected object.

Artificial Intelligence Have you ever heard of Amazon’s Alexa or Apple’s Siri? All these technologies have something in common: they use Artificial Intelligence, or AI. Artificial intelligence, or AI, is the ability of a computer to think and learn. With AI, computers can perform tasks that are generally done by people, like recognising voice, problem-solving, and learning. AI is all around us, and whether or not you realise it, we use it every single day. Let us discuss some applications of artificial intelligence.
Applications of Artificial Intelligence These are the various ways in which we can use AI:
Healthcare • AI-powered robots are used to perform surgery with greater precision and accuracy than human surgeons. • AI is being used to develop new drugs and treat critical diseases.

In this picture, a number of pictures of cats and dogs are fed into the machine learning model. The features of cats and dogs are also provided to the system. Over a period of time and with the help of data, the machine learning model becomes self-sufficient in differentiating between cats and dogs. This is how machine learning systems learn. One of the most useful applications of machine learning systems is computer vision. Let us learn about it.
Understanding Computer Vision Computer vision is a way for computers to ‘see’ and ‘understand’ the world around them. This is How It Works: 1. Computers use cameras to take pictures or videos of the world around them.
2. Software is used to analyse the images or videos to identify objects and patterns.
3. AI is used to make sense of the data collected and understand the information that the computer is ‘seeing’. There is a popular application called Google Lens that uses computer vision. Let us learn about Google Lens.
Google Lens Google Lens is a visual search tool developed by Google that uses AI and machine learning to recognise and provide information about objects, images, and text captured through a camera.
Did You Know?
Google Lens can recognise over 1 billion objects, including plants, animals, landmarks, and products.
