Operating systems give the user an interface and expedite simple commands so that hours of programing are not required to do even the simplest of tasks.

Well to put it briefly, without one you would be switching on your computer to communicate with a blank screen. The operating system acts like a translator between the user and the hardware and vice versa. It converts computer binary code into information we would understand, and every time we input data like pressing keys the data we see as letters is entered as codes the computer will understand. There is 2 types of software, the O/S(operating system) and application software. The application software is designed to perform multiple or specific tasks for the user. It comes in all sorts of forms from games too Microsoft office. In order to run the application software you need an O/S. like mentioned above it's the translator between the user and hardware. So if you want to instruct the hardware to do something from the application software, it will go through the operating system.

Without an operating system, you cannot communicate with the pc components (well actually you can but not as easy as using an os, any pc comes with a prebuild os- the BIOS)
