Answer:
general purpose application, sometimes known as ‘off-the-shelf’ is the sort of software that you use at home and school. Examples include word processors, spreadsheets, databases, desktop publishing packages, graphics packages etc.
This type of software tries to be a ‘jack-of-all-trades’. It provides many features that the majority of users will want e.g. formatting text, creating charts, organising tables. But it does try to be’ all things to all people’ and so there will be a vast number of features that you may never use e.g. statistical functions, mail merge. This makes the storage size of these applications fairly large.
There are several good reasons for using general purpose software:
It is relatively cheap
It is easily available from most computer shops
It will have been thoroughly tested so there won’t be any serious problems or bugs
There will be lots of user support i.e. books, user guides, online help and discussion forums on the Internet
Examples of use:
Word processing application - writing reports, memos, letters to customers
Spreadsheet application - keeping simple company accounts, calculating employee commission payments, simple stock control system, modelling
Database application - keeping customer records, sales records, appointments system
Desktop publishing application - creating leaflets, posters, business cards
Presentation software - creating presentations to show to customers or staff
Graphics application - manipulating images that can be used at home, school or a business
Web design application - creating personal or business websites
