A spreadsheet is a machine for working with numbers.
A word processor is for writing; a spreadsheet is for counting, calculating and organising anything that comes in rows — a class list, a shopping bill, a set of exam marks, a shop's takings. Its one real advantage over doing the same sums on paper: change one number, and everything that depends on it updates itself.
