descriptions. Here's the completed table:

what to use the software for.

Description: Software developed for use in specific organizations, such as for the military,
banks, or medical equipment.
Special-purpose
Description: Software developed to perform a specific task rather than a range of functions,
for example, online gaming software for a specific game.

A turnaround document refers to a document that is initially human-readable but is


transformed into a machine-readable format. This transformation allows for easier
processing and handling by computer systems, often facilitating transactions or data
transfers between organizations.

Example of Turnaround Document

One common example of a turnaround document is an invoice. In its original form, an


invoice is created by a seller and sent to the buyer in a human-readable format. The buyer
then reviews it and often returns a remittance advice (which is another type of turnaround
document) detailing the payment information back to the seller. Both documents can then be
processed automatically by accounting software systems to update financial records.

In summary, a turnaround document plays a critical role in the exchange of information


between parties, enabling seamless communication arid data processing in various
applications, including billing and payments.

Workplace Changes due to Automation

Regarding the automation of jobs, one positive aspect is the efficiency in task completion,
allowing skilled employees to focus on more complex tasks, while a negative aspect is the
job displacement of unskilled workers who may find it challenging to adapt to new roles in an
automated environment.
