Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,270 --> 00:00:06,630
Program, software, and applications are
terms that are synonymous with each other.
2
00:00:06,630 --> 00:00:10,460
For now, we'll go ahead and use the term
software to refer to any of these.
3
00:00:10,460 --> 00:00:14,559
There are certain types of software that
perform specific functions like drivers,
4
00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:17,360
which allow us to interact
with our hardware.
5
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,222
There are applications that we use for
our day-to-day job functions.
6
00:00:21,222 --> 00:00:26,332
And there are utilities that we use like
a calculator, settings, and other tools.
7
00:00:26,332 --> 00:00:29,435
With the seemingly endless options for
software,
8
00:00:29,435 --> 00:00:31,390
how do we know which ones to use?
9
00:00:31,390 --> 00:00:35,976
How do we deal with them in a workplace
setting and in our personal lives?
10
00:00:35,976 --> 00:00:38,207
Software is always changing.
11
00:00:38,207 --> 00:00:39,970
Developers are releasing updates.
12
00:00:39,970 --> 00:00:43,870
Software companies change,
features are added, and so on.
13
00:00:43,870 --> 00:00:47,518
This constant change is
completely out of our control and
14
00:00:47,518 --> 00:00:50,485
it can cause a lot of
headaches in the IT world.
15
00:00:50,485 --> 00:00:54,558
Let's say the company that builds your
payroll system pushes out a software
16
00:00:54,558 --> 00:00:57,547
update that causes settings to change,
or even worse,
17
00:00:57,547 --> 00:01:01,060
completely breaks the compatibility
with your own company.
18
00:01:01,060 --> 00:01:02,740
It can happen.
19
00:01:02,740 --> 00:01:06,360
You should always test new software
before letting your company use it.
20
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,756
Another thing to worry
about is old software.
21
00:01:09,756 --> 00:01:14,636
When you run old software on your machine,
you risk being exposed to cyber security
22
00:01:14,636 --> 00:01:17,437
attacks that take
advantage of software bugs.
23
00:01:17,437 --> 00:01:22,816
A software bug is an error in software
that causes unexpected results.
24
00:01:22,816 --> 00:01:27,447
For now, know that software updates
usually contain critical security updates
25
00:01:27,447 --> 00:01:32,060
and new features and have better
compatibility with your system.
26
00:01:32,060 --> 00:01:35,450
A good guideline is to update
your software constantly.
27
00:01:35,450 --> 00:01:39,894
Another problem that plagues the IT world
when it comes to software is software
28
00:01:39,894 --> 00:01:41,280
management.
29
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,381
If you're setting up a computer for
someone, you want to make sure that
30
00:01:44,381 --> 00:01:48,540
they'll have all the necessary tools
they need to hit the ground running.
31
00:01:48,540 --> 00:01:52,870
That means you'll need to install all
the software required for their job.
32
00:01:52,870 --> 00:01:57,462
That may also mean that sometimes you want
to remove software that isn't required for
33
00:01:57,462 --> 00:01:58,080
the job.
34
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,050
We may not realize if a piece of software
we installed is malicious software,
35
00:02:02,050 --> 00:02:04,200
which causes harm to your computer.
36
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,982
It's always a good idea to check if
software comes from a reputable source
37
00:02:07,982 --> 00:02:09,750
before you install it.
38
00:02:09,750 --> 00:02:14,150
A common industry practice is to not
allow users to install software without
39
00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:16,650
administrator approval.
40
00:02:16,650 --> 00:02:20,717
This prevents users from installing
unwanted software because they're actually
41
00:02:20,717 --> 00:02:24,665
blocked with an error message that says
they need an administrator to enter their
42
00:02:24,665 --> 00:02:25,723
login credentials.
43
00:02:25,723 --> 00:02:29,630
Before we get too far ahead of ourselves,
let's cover the basics of software
44
00:02:29,630 --> 00:02:33,671
management, which include installing,
updating, and removing software.
