4. What is proprietary software ?
Computer programs that are exclusive property of their developers or publishers,
and cannot be copied or distributed without complying with their licensing
agreements. Almost all commercial (shrinkwrapped) software is proprietary, but
many excellent new programs (such as Apache web server, Linux operating
system, and StarOffice office suite) are non-proprietary (and free).

5. Give 1 examples of proprietary software .
a.) Operating system
- Microsoft Windows 7 ( July 22 , 2009 ) , (a version of Microsoft
Windows, a series of operating systems produced by Microsoft for use on
personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops,
netbooks, tablet PCs, and media center PCs ) ,

b.) Application software
- Adobe photoshop ( June 30 , 2010 ) , (a graphics editing program
developed and published by Adobe Systems. ) ,
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop )
c.) Utility program
- Norton Antivirus ( 31 August 2010 )
developed and distributed by Symantec Corporation, provides malware
prevention and removal during a subscription period. It uses signatures
and heuristics to identify viruses. Other features include e-mail spam

6. What is operating system ?
An operating system is a program designed to run other programs on a computer.
A computers operating system is its most important program. It is considered the
backbone of a computer, managing both software and hardware resources.
Operating systems are responsible for everything from the control and allocation
of memory to recognizing input from external devices and transmitting output to
computer displays. They also manage files on computer hard drives and control
peripherals, like printers and scanners.
The operating system of a large computer system has even more work to do. Such
operating systems monitor different programs and users, making sure everything
runs smoothly, without interference, despite the fact that numerous devices and
programs are used simultaneously. An operating system also has a vital role to
play in security. Its job includes preventing unauthorized users from accessing the
computer system.

b) Software
Microsoft Office 2010 ( June 15 , 2010 )
computing devices are not personal computers as we tend to think of them, but
very tiny - even invisible - devices, either mobile or embedded in almost any type
of object imaginable, including cars, tools, appliances, clothing and various
consumer goods - all communicating through increasingly interconnected
networks.

12. Examples of pervasive computing
a.) Humancomputer interaction (HCI)
the study of interaction between people (users) and computers. It is often
regarded as the intersection of computer science, behavioral sciences, design and
several other fields of study. Interaction between users and computers occurs at
the user interface (or simply interface), which includes both software and
hardware, for example, general-purpose computer peripherals and large-scale
mechanical systems, such as aircraft and power plants.

Conclusion
The improvement of development in ICT not only helps us through by resolve
our daily life faster, easier but also have create a paperless enviroment naturally
good for our future.
Open Source can be used by anyone and because it has no copyright claims, so users
are free to use, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it in modified or
unmodified forms. Pervasive Computing is to make our lives easier because we can
interact
with computers. Besides that, we can easily give the computer commands and the
computer
will grant your wish.
