Computer Structure - Applications & Apps
Applications are huge software packages that were initially intended to operate on desktop computers. A keyboard and mouse are used to interact with the application.
Applications such as the Adobe Creative Suite, which includes Photoshop, Premiere, and Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, and the Microsoft Office Suite are examples.

The program and its UI are made with the understanding that you use a keyboard and mouse to interact with the system.
An illustration of a desktop program is this one. A laptop could possibly be running this application.

The App is a more modern version of software. Apps are typically made with a touch screen in mind and have a smaller file size.

You use your finger to directly manipulate the screen with various finger motions, such as tapping, dragging, and pointing. This is taken into consideration when designing the interface, as larger icons allow you to tap on them with your finger.
