Productivity software (sometimes called personal productivity software or office productivity software) is application software dedicated to producing information, such as documents, presentations, worksheets, databases, charts, graphs, digital paintings, electronic music and digital video.

Its names arose from the fact that it increases productivity, especially of individual office workers, from typists to knowledge workers, although its scope is now wider than that.

s, which brought word processing, spreadsheet, and relational database programs to the desktop in the 1980s, are the core example of productivity software.

They revolutionized the office with the magnitude of the productivity increase they brought as compared with the pre-1980s office environments of typewriters, paper filing, and handwritten lists and ledgers.

Some 78% of "middle-skill" occupations (those that call for more than a high school diploma but less than a bachelor's degree) now require the use of productivity software.

In the 2010s, productivity software has become even more consumerized than it already was, as computing becomes ever more integrated into daily personal life.

A mobile application software or mobile app is an application software designed to run on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers.

Most such devices are sold with several apps bundled as pre-installed software, such as a web browser, email client, calendar, mapping program, and an app for buying music or other media or more apps.

Some pre-installed apps can be removed by an ordinary uninstall process, thus leaving more storage space for desired ones.

Where the software does not allow this, some devices can be rooted to eliminate the undesired apps.

Business software or a business application is any software or set of computer programs used by business users to perform various business functions.

These business applications are used to increase productivity, to measure productivity and to perform other business functions accurately.

In marketing, a product is anything that can be offered to a market that might satisfy a want or need.

In retailing, products are called merchandise.

In manufacturing, products are bought as raw materials and sold as finished goods.

A service is another common product type.

Home computers were a class of microcomputers entering the market in 1977, and becoming common during the 1980s.

They were marketed to consumers as affordable and accessible computers that, for the first time, were intended for the use of a single nontechnical user.

These computers were a distinct market segment that typically cost much less than business, scientific or engineering-oriented computers of the time such as the IBM PC, and were generally less powerful in terms of memory and expandability.

However, a home computer often had better graphics and sound than contemporaneous business computers.

Their most common uses were playing video games, but they were also regularly used for word processing, doing homework, and programming.
