Application Software
Application software is used to perform a specific task.
For example, you can draw and colour pictures in Paint software, but you cannot
play a movie or a song in it.
Paint Windows Media Player
If CPU is the brain of a computer, then which computer hardware
is its ear?
To play a song, you need to run the Windows Media Player, which is another
software specially designed to play movies and songs.
Hence, Paint and Windows Media Player are examples of application software
but both are used for different tasks.
Some other application software are:
✶ Microsoft Word is used for typing letters, applications, articles and essays.
✶ Microsoft PowerPoint is used for creating presentations.
✶ Adobe Photoshop is used for creating and editing photos and designs.
