SOFTWARE
What is Application
Software?
Application
Software
-(app for short) is a
program or group of
programs designed for end
users.
Examples of
an
application:

Application Software
In information technology, an
application (app), application
program or application software
is a computer program designed
to help people perform an
activity.
A computer is a machine that can be
programmed to accept data (input),
process it into useful information (output),
and store it away (in a secondary storage
device) for safekeeping or later reuse.
The processing of input to output is
directed by the software but performed by
the hardware.
To function, a computer system requires
four main aspects of data handling: input,
processing, output, and storage.
The hardware responsible for these
four areas operates as follows:
1. Input devices accept data in a form that the computer
can use; they then send the data to the processing
unit.
2. The processor, more formally known as the central
processing unit (CPU), has the electronic circuitry that
manipulates input data into the information people want.
Input technical information
Computer software can receive data in the
form of an input stream, which is a
flowing sequence of data that can be
directed to specific functions.
Types of Program/
Application
Why create a bookmark?
A very useful when you find a
web page that you want to
remember and be able to look at

Word processing software
• text document, such as a resume or a
report.
• text document, such as a resume or a
report.
• provides tools for copying, deleting
and various types of formatting
Web Browser
A software application for
accessing information on
the World Wide Web.
Internet
Is a global wide area
network that connects
computer systems across
the world.
Data Processing
• Data processing occurs when data is
collected and translated into usable
information.
• It is important for data processing to be
done correctly as not to negatively affect the
end product or data output.
Six stages of
data processing
Data Collection
It is important that the data sources
available are trustworthy and well-built,
so the data collected is of the highest
possible quality.
Data Preparation
Often referred to as “pre-processing”
is the stage at which raw data is cleaned
up and organized for the following stage
of data processing.
Data Input
The clean data is then entered into its
destination and translated into a
language that it can understand.
Processing
The data inputted to the
computer.
Data Outp u t/ In terp retati on
Is the stage at which data is finally us
able.
It is translated, readable, and often in
the form of graphs, videos, images, plain
text, etc.
Data storage
After all the data is processed, it is
then stored for future use.
