Uses

Personal computers are normally operated by one user at a time to perform such general
purpose tasks as word processing, internet browsing, e-mail and  other digital messaging,
multimedia playback, video game play, computer programming, etc. Other more specific functions
usually performed with the help of a PC include working, teleworking, learning, researching,
printing, online banking, online shopping and dealing online with public sector institutions and
services. The user of a modern personal computer may have significant knowledge of the operating
environment and application programs, but is not necessarily interested in programming nor even
able to write programs for the computer. Therefore, most software written primarily for personal
computers tends to be designed with simplicity of use, or "user-friendliness" in mind. However, the
software industry continuously provide a wide range of new products foruse in personal computers,
targeted at both the expert and the non-expert user.
