I Don't Know

I Don’t even know really what OpenGL is can someone explain

If you dont know, why do you care?

why I care is because I love graphics. Even though I’m More of a computer hardware person I would like to Know about the software side of graphics

In brief OpenGL is a 3D graphics API, like Direct X. Except that openGL is opensource and support by multiple platform( windows, Mac, Linux).
Now openGL is for graphics only and does not support sound or input calls. These calls are done by other opensource API’s.

If you had look on the opengl.org main page under user, there is a heading called “What is openGL”, it will give you in more detail what openGL is.
