Software, as we mentioned, is another name for programs. Programs are the
instructions that tell the computer how to process data into the form you want.
In most cases, the words software and programs are interchangeable. There are
two major kinds of software: system software and application software. You can
think of application software as the kind you use. Think of system software as the
kind the computer uses.
SYSTEM SOFTWARE
The user interacts primarily with application software. System softw
application software to interact with the computer hardware. System software is
"background" software that helps the computer manage
its own internal resources.
System software is not a single program. Rather it is a collection of programs,
including the following:
Operating systems: are programs that coordinate computer resources,
provide an interface between users and the computer, and run applications.
Windows Vista and the Mac OS X are two of the best-know
systems for today's microcomputer users.
Utilities perform specific task related to managing computer resource. for example the windows utility called disk defragment located unnecessary files and unused disk space to optimize computer operation.
Device drivers are specialized
programs designed to allow particular inputo or output
devices to communicate with
the rest of the computer system.
APPLICATION SOFTWARE
Application software might be described as user software this program can be categorised as either basic or specialised applications.
Basic applications are widely used in nearly all career areas they are the kinds of program you have to know to be considered computer component one of these basic application is a browser to navigate explore and find information on the Internet the two most widely used browsers are Microsoft Internet explorer and Netscape navigator for a summary of the basic applications.
Specialised applications include thousand of other program that are more narrowly focused on specific disciplines and occupation some of the best known are graphics, audios, videos, multimedia, web authoring, and artificial intelligence programs.
Hardware
Computers are electronic devices that can follow instructions to accept input,
Cprocess that input, and produce information. This book focuses principally on microcomputer.
Howeve it is almost certain that you will come in contact,
at least indirectly, with other types of computers.
