INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTING
INTRODUCTION
Application software or simply application (app) has become our everyday

companion. From the Microsoft Office suite of products to Gmail and
Facebook Messenger, all of us use different types of application software to
meet various personal and professional purposes.
We have all come a long way from the old-generation of computers that had
just one application software, which was installed onto individual machines
using floppy disks and CD ROMs. Today, we have multiple types of application
software to suit every need and purpose. While that is exciting, it also places
before us an array of choices. You may be wondering which of
these application software fulfills the needs of your business. To help you
with this, here is a detailed guide to the types of application software.

SUMMARY 10 MINS
APPLICATION SOFTWARE
What is Application Software?
Application software is a computer program that

performs a specific function, be it educational,
personal, or business. It is also known as an end-user
program or a productivity program. You can think of
your PC as a cake and the application software as the
frosting on top of it. It is the application software
(frosting) that you, the user, gets to see upfront when
you are working with the computer.
Why application software developed?
Application software is developed to assist you

with a particular process that may be related to
creativity, productivity, or better
communication. It helps you in completing your
tasks, be it jotting down notes, completing your
online research, setting an alarm, keeping an
account log, or even playing games.
What is the use of Application Software?
Application software programs are specific in their

functionality and do the job that they are designed to
do. For instance, a browser is an application used
specifically for browsing the Internet. Similarly, MS
PowerPoint is an application designed specifically for
making presentations. All the apps that we see on our
smartphones are examples of types of application
software.
