Those are library linkages. These specify the compiler that, this program requires these libraries for compilation. 'using' is a term, just like #include in C. Usually, for basic programs, only System is more than enough. You can leave Linq, Text and Tasks. If you are creating or using List<>, then you will need Collections.
