Computers are used for a wide variety of purposes.
Data processing is commercial and financial
work. This includes such things as billing, shipping and receiving,
inventory control, and similar business related functions, as well as
the “electronic office”.
Scientific processing is using a computer to
support science. This can be as simple as gathering and analyzing raw
data and as complex as modelling natural phenomenon (weather and climate
models, thermodynamics, nuclear engineering, etc.).
Multimedia includes content creation
(composing music, performing music, recording music, editing film and
video, special effects, animation, illustration, laying out print
materials, etc.) and multimedia playback (games, DVDs, instructional
materials, etc.).
