Productivity applications

Productivity applications

Productivity applications are software programs written to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of every day tasks.

-          Home office programs include word processor, spreadsheet, database, presentation software, etc. which can all be purchased individually or as a suite.

-          Graphics software is used to make and edit pictures.

-          CAD (computer aided design) software is used to design components and buildings

-          Multimedia software is used to combine sound and images into cartoon or video.


-          Web-authoring software is used to create, edit, and upload web pages.

What is computer memory? RAM/ROM/SSD/ETC.

Computer memory Computer memory, like cache, RAM, and ROM is a solid state, which means they are microchips and they have NO moving parts. The different types of computer memory are used in for different purposes. RAM is used to store programs and data that the CPU is processing and that the user has accessed. PCs laptops, and some game consoles generally use dynamic RAM. This uses a type of transistor (an electrical component contained within the microprocessors) that needs a constant electrical power source to store data. Therefore when a computer is switched off, any data stored within the RAM is lost (deleted). Mobile phones, digital cameras and some games consoles devices genrally use static RAM (flash memory). This technology uses a type of transistor that retaines its state (on or off), so it stores data, even after the power supply is disconnected. Static RAM is more expensive and physically larger then dynamic RAM, but it uses less power and is faster which makes it more suita...

Mobile devices - Operating systems, User interface, accessibility and ease of use.

Mobile devices Mobile devices such as phones have operating systems that are optimised for user interface, accessibility and ease of use. The user interface is usually a touch screen with voice recognition, which the operating system needs to control and make easy to use. Accessibility on, mobile devices can be further enhanced with onscreen readers and magnifiers to make parts of the screen larger. The operating system for a modern mobile phone might be Android, BlackBerry, iPhone OS, Symbian, or Windows Mobile.

What is Cache memory, with an example.

Cache memory Cache memory is used between faster and slower devices to let them work more quickly together. The fast device writes or reads to/from the cache memory and the slower device updates as quickly as it can. For example, the processor has cache memory to speed up access to the slower RAM, which means that the processor isn’t idle while It waits for the RAM to respond to an instruction. Also, slower hard disks have a cache memory to speed up disk accesss between the RAM and a hard disk. Powerful microprocessors generate lots of heat. Without a heat sing the fan heat dispersal system to cool them down they would quickly burn out. The Power supply unit (PSU) must produce enough power (watts) for all the components in the computer.
