Software Technology

Software 

Software is a set of instructions to perform a 
specific task on computer.

Hardware cannot work itself. It needs some instructions or commands to perform a task. Let us take an example of a television. The television itself is a hardware but the programs you watch on TV are software.

A computer without software is just like a car without  driver. There are two kinds of Software's :  System software and application software.

System software

It is the main software program with whose help a computer runs and performs all important works like opening of computer's desktop and other programs.

The example of system software is operating system such as. 

• Microsoft windows
