perform tasks
it is a time consuming process
it is difficult to use

needs keyboard to both navigate and enter commands
it needs a number of commands to be memorized
the programmer controls the flow of actions
based on text
one task can run at a time
GUI - graphic user interface

select options
it saves a lot of time
it is easier to use
