About this listen
This episode introduces utility software, explaining its purpose as non-essential but helpful programs that assist in managing a computer system and are often included with the operating system. It then focuses on three specific types: encryption software, which encodes information to prevent unauthorized access and is used for secure communication and data storage; defragmentation software, which reorganizes fragmented files on a disk to improve access speed; and data compression software, designed to reduce file sizes for efficient storage and transmission. The episode outlines the core functions of an operating system as a foundational element, contrasting them with the supplementary role of these utility applications.
