FREE online courses on Information Technology - Chapter 2 FRAMEWORKS FOR IT - Personal Support System

 

Large mainframe computers rarely feature applications that enhance the productivity of the typical manager. One of the great appeals of personal computers is the software available for personal productivity. Spreadsheet programs are widely used in business for making decisions and producing report. The spreadsheet program is a major enhancement to personal productivity compared with the old way of doing mathematical analyses with pencil, paper, and calculator.

 

For individual writings documents such as reports or even memos, word processing contributes greatly to productivity. The concept of word processing has been extended to desktop publishing. A desktop system features a powerful program capable to generating text in variety of fonts and sizes. Hardware is available to scan input images and include them with the text for example, to add a photograph to a news release. There are also output devices to produce high-resolution film that can be used directly in printing.

 

Personal productivity is also enhanced with packages for presentation graphics. If a manager has to make a presentation, programs exists that enable him or her to generate transparencies or 35mm sides in a variety of type styles, sizes and colors. Many of these programs have libraries of clipart from which the user can add various illustrations.

 

Personal productivity has been enhanced by the development of graphical user interfaces (GUIs), such as Microsoft Windows and the operating environment for the Macintosh computer. These systems create a graphical desktop on the computer's monitor and provide many more capabilities than older systems which only allowed character input and output.
