You begin by explaining the basic idea of word processing software, spreadsheets, databases, and presentation software. You sense that the following question is coming: “Why so many different things? Why can’t there just be one software that you could use for everything?” How would you answer?

Answer 1

Q1: Think of a number that represents a piece of data in your life. Ex: Sally rode her bike 3 times in the past week.

Q2: Downloads represent different files so the computer can recognize them for their purpose like a video or image etc.

Q3: Well, depending on where you are buying the product from, they might need a web page, a networking site, and purchasing details.

Q4: If virtual reality becomes more commonly used, other device companies might start going out of business because of all the functions VR devices can perform (Games, videos, messaging, etc.).

Q5: Having one app that performs all the functions of several different apps would be hard to process and full of bugs. Plus, it would take up a lot of storage to download an app with all that software, and would run slowly.

:) hope this helps you hun
