In the matter of Digital Tools we have been learn about the general components of the virtual word. In the firts classes we learned about the differents operating systems.

Every computer must have a operating system (OS) to run other programs. An operating system is a collection of programs to manage the functions of the processor, input, output, storage and control of devices. The most known are Windows, Mac, Linux.

We also learn about the Clouds.  Clouds are services that work online. These services can be data storage (photos, videos, text, worksheets, etc), and even online programs. When you upload a file in a Cloud, this file can be accessed for you from any device with intrnet. 

       And about the application softwares. Acording to the website Techopedia, 

"Application software is a program or group of programs designed for end users. These programs are divided into two classes: system software and application software. While system software consists of low-level programs that interact with computers at a basic level, application software resides above system software and includes database programs, word processors, spreadsheets, etc. Application software may be grouped along with system software or published alone. Application software may simply be referred to as an application."
