Desktop vs. Web vs. Mobile
Software applications are programs designed to perform a specific task. A software can be a desktop application, web-based application, or mobile app. While desktop applications are specifically designed to be installed within the computer, web-based applications can be accessed through the internet without any installation. Mobile apps, on the other hand, can only be installed in a smartphone or tablet. Mobile apps are great for expanding the use of educational technology outside of the house or classroom. Mobile apps are great to use whenever students or teachers have a little extra time to spend. Web-based applications are also making it easier for money-saving consumers to avoid buying expensive desktop applications. While web and mobile apps are becoming useful, traditional desktop applications are still beneficial because they process information faster and do not need internet support. Every consumer can utilize each type of software application, based on their particular needs at the moment.
