Documenting a Day

Documenting a Day

In both a professional and personal environment I’ve used every software application listed. Starting with the application that the majority of students and professionals use which comes naturally with beginning and completing word documents is the Word Processors. This application takes advantage of editing and formatting documents for essays, journal entries, letters or the traditional papers. The application is also equipped with grammar correction, spell check and other unique formatting options. I’m still behind the curve on google docs but I’m slowly managing to make proper adjustments when using it. Google sheets also gave me trouble which is similar to Microsoft excel being the cousin to the spreadsheet software. Both applications allow the user to create graphs or analyze data through formulas. They’re also very useful to companies for budgeting, financial reports, and data organization. Furthermore, Google Slides and Microsoft Power point are the best tools for creating presentations. They provide a platform that allows the user to create a visually appealing presentation of animated text, graphs or images to make information more intriguing. Presenting these are usually used in a Corporate, educational or military setting, presenting tasks, reports or ideas. Finally, the applications that I believe are too complicated to use are MySQL and Microsoft Access which are used for managing large amounts of data. These applications organize data through tables, forms, reports and queries making both tools efficient for managing information. The advantages for the Word Processor and Spreadsheet are quite similar. They’re both pretty easy to use with editing and formatting but the Spreadsheet has a major learning curve that may lead to complex formulas. The presentation and database application has the ability to share or manage a large volume of information. The disadvantages for the presentation may lead to distractions when presenting. However, database applications may be too complex to manage. Among all the applications I’ve shared, Word Processor is still the best application for writing and editing reports.
