There is probably no need to tell you what software is; Because anyone who uses a smartphone or computer is already aware of this word. It was a few years ago when humans became acquainted with computers, at that time you would probably be a small child.

But after the advent of the computer, our life completely changed. We have become so lazy that we are doing more work through computer or mobile. It is not our fault in this because our life has become easier with this computer.

Notes And Knowledge

By the way, if a computer is seen, it is just an electronic device that can perform many operations simultaneously. For example, this is a lot of computation at a very high speed, which hardly any ordinary machine or our human brain can ever do.

It is made up of many physical and tangible components that we can touch and feel, they are called hardware and the programs and commands that drive these hardware are called software.

The one you are reading this article of mine today is also reading from a software, whose name is Web Browser which is an application software. Just as our body has hands, feet, nose, ears, eyes, along with its kindness, love, pain are also inside us.

Similarly, a computer is made up of two things, one hardware and the other software. Hands, feet, nose, ears, eyes are the hardware of our body which we can touch. Whereas kindness, Maya, love, pain are all software of our body which we cannot touch.

In today's time, all the digital devices like mobile, desktop, tab, laptop, oven all have software programs. So let us know what is called software and what are its types.

What is Software ?

Software is a collection of many programs that perform a specific task (Task) of a computer.

All the tasks we do in our computer are done through this software only. Software refers to the set of instructions that are fed in the form of programs, so that they can govern the entire computer system and simultaneously process other hardware components.

These are the commands that drive the hardware. MS-WORD in which we do some type. Photoshop in which we edit photos. Chrome which accesses the Internet, which is also called Browser.

Examples of software :

Google Chrome, Photoshop, MS-WORD, VLC Player, UC Browser etc.

Definition of Software :

• Software or what is also called computer software is actually some program that enables the user to perform some specific tasks. It actually directs the computer system or its peripheral devices to do some work and also tells how to do that work 

In fact, a software plays a very big and main role between a user and computer hardware. Without software, in existence, a user cannot do any kind of work on the computer even if he wants.

• The collection of instructions or programs is called software, these programs make the computer usable by the users.

 Like Operating System, firstly Android OS (Operating System) software is installed in Mobile/Computer, only then you use it. Now the question comes, what are these programs and instructions. It is very important for you to have knowledge of Programming Language first.
