Android Operating System

OBJECTIVE:
Explore the Android System, and its
contributions to the American society




Hello this is Rachel and I am briefly taking a look further into
why the Android system exists. After skimming through wikipedia,
which is a great source for perspectives based on gathered facts,
I have learnt the following:

Android system was developed by the Google corporation and is one
of the most widely used platforms in America for tablet, cellular phone, and
laptop accessory devices (Wikipedia, 2016).

"Touchscreen mobile devices are the Android system's primary platform" says
Wikipedia (2016) with the Google corporation utilizing the Linux kernal as its
foundation.

Google actually bought the virtual reality, gaming, and mobile applications
operating system from the Android corporation in 2005, and "continues to
expand the technology" with upgrades equal or more to the iOS functionalities
(Wikipedia, 2016).
