Write a 200- to 300-word short-answer response to the following:

1. Recently the GAPS in my car had an update. They sent me a bunch of CDs to update it. It meant that I had to sit in the car changing CDs while it updated. I didn't think it was the most efficient way to do it at the time. The USB interface would of been much more efficient as my car had an USB interface in it.

2. What are some of the companies that make embedded operating systems and are these operating systems just scaled down versions of the regular operating systems?

3. Hardware that uses embedded operating systems is designed to be lightweight and compact, What about the health care market for embedded systems?

4. Why do you think that embedded systems are so popular? Is it because of how reliable they are? Are they also secure?
