Chapter 5 Overview
• What Is Application Software?
• Application software is a type of
program, such as word-processing or
spreadsheet software, that directs a
computer to perform one or more tasks.
Think about all the things a computer
can help you do. You can write letters
and reports. You can look up
information, record songs, play games,
chat with friends, and more. Application
software makes it possible for your PC
to perform such tasks.
Chapter 5 Overview
• There are many different types of
application software (sometimes
called applications), each best
suited for a certain purpose. Some
programs perform specific jobs.
Others do many different tasks.
Once you become familiar with
application software, you can
make choices to help your
computer work faster and more
efficiently.
