OLeary - Chapter 03 #63 System software works with end users, application software, and computer hardware to handle the majority of technical details. Application software can be described as end user software designed to accomplish a variety of different tasks. 65. Describe a graphical user interface and the Ribbon GUI. (p. 62-63) A user interface is the portion of the application that allows you to control and to interact with the program. Almost all applications use a graphical user interface (GUI) that displays graphical elements called icons to represent familiar objects. The mouse controls a pointer on the screen that is used to select items such as icons. Another feature is the use of windows to display information. A window is simply a rectangular area that can contain a document, program, or message. Many Microsoft and other applications use an interface known as the Ribbon GUI to make it easier to find and use all the features of an application, this GUI uses a system of ribbons, tabs, and galleries. Ribbons replace menus and toolbars by organizing commonly used commands into a set of tabs. These tabs display command buttons that are the most relevant to the tasks being performed by the user. Galleries simplify the process of making a selection from a list of alternatives.

(p.64,67, 69-70) List the four types of general-purpose applications, describe what each application is used for, and giveanexampleofeach. The four general-purpose applications are word processors, spreadsheets, database management systems, and presentation graphics. Word Processors are used to create text-based documents such as letters, memos, faxes, and reports. Microsoft Word is the most widely used word processor. Spreadsheet programs organize, analyze, and graph numeric data such as budgets and financial reports. The most widely used spreadsheet program is Microsoft Excel. A database management system is a program that sets up, or structures, a database. It also provides tools to enter, edit, and retrieve data from the database. Microsoft Access is one of the most widely used database management systems designed for PCs. Presentation graphics are programs that combine a variety of visual objects to create attractive, visually interesting presentations. Microsoft PowerPoint is an example of a widely used presentation graphics program.

OLeary - Chapter 03 #66 Topic: General-Purpose Applications Describe graphics programs, including desktop publishing programs, image editors, and illustration programs. Desktop publishing programs, or page layout programs, allow you to mix text and graphics to create publications of professional quality. Professional graphic artists use desktop publishing programs to create documents such as brochures, newsletters, newspapers, and textbooks. Image editors, also known as photo editors, are specialized graphics programs for editing or modifying digital photographs. They are often used to touch up photographs to remove scratches and other imperfections. The photographs consist of thousands of dots or pixels that form images often referred to as bitmap or raster images. Illustration programs, also known as drawing programs, are used to create and edit vector images. While bitmap images use pixels to represent images, vector images, also known as vector illustrations, use geometric shapes or objects. These objects are created by connecting lines and curves. Because these objects can be defined by mathematical equations, they can be rapidly and easily resized, colored, textured, and manipulated.

(p. 70, 72) 68. (p. 74-75) 69. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of cloud suites or online office suites. (p. 76) Online office suites are stored online and are available anywhere you can access the Internet. Documents created using online applications can also be stored online, making it easy to share documents and collaborate with others. One downside to cloud applications is that you are dependent on the server providing the application to be available whenever you need it. For this reason, when using online applications, it is important to have backup copies of your documents on your computer and to have a desktop office application available to use.
