Application software generally refers to all of the programs that enable you to use the computer for your work. In this sense, application software differs from system software, the programs that enable the computer to function properly. You use application software to work efficiently with the documents that are created in almost any line of work, such as invoices, letter, reports, proposals, presentations, customer lists, newsletter, tables, and flyers. Referring back to our aquarium analogy, applications are the fish that swim in the water (the operating system). The operating system provides the environment in which the applications run. It supports the functions of input, processing, output, and storage, whereas the applications enable users to accomplish specific tasks. People use applications to create products, to communicate with others, and to store and find information. They also derived entertainment from certain types of applications.
