A computer can't function without an operating system

A total lie usually mentioned in computer textbooks when talking about operating systems. Older computers sometimes do not have an operating system, so this is totally a lie because these computers can still function. Also, even modern computers can make use of the Basic Input Output System (BIOS) to do some basic tasks such as viewing and changing the date.

The study of how human psychology shapes and is shaped by the major systems that organize society—governments, markets, communities, courts. These systems aren't abstract machines; they're human creations that reflect human psychology and in turn shape it. Political systems channel our need for order and our desire for freedom; economic systems exploit our wants and fears; social systems satisfy our need for belonging; legal systems manage our conflicts and our sense of justice. The psychology of these systems reveals that they work not despite human irrationality but because of it—they're designed for creatures like us, with all our flaws and longings.
Psychology of Political, Economic, Social and Legal Systems Example: "She studied the psychology of political, economic, social and legal systems and realized they were all, at root, about managing the same thing: human nature. Politics managed our competing interests; economics managed our desires; social systems managed our need for connection; law managed our conflicts. Each system was a different technology for handling the fact that humans are complicated."
