software

=Software= Throughout my studies in IT, I've been taught that software is "**//the part of the computer that you can't see or touch//**".

//Here is a definition I got on the internet//: Computer instructions or data. Anything that can be stored electronically is software. The storage devices and display devices are hardware. The terms //software// and //hardware// are used as both nouns and adjectives. For example, you can say: "The problem lies in the software," meaning that there is a problem with the program or data, not with the computer itself. You can also say: "It's a software problem." The distinction between software and hardware is sometimes confusing because they are so integrally linked. Clearly, when you purchase a program, you are buying software. But to buy the software, you need to buy the disk (hardware) on which the software is recorded. Software is often divided into two categories: (//from Webopedia//)
 * systems software** **:** Includes the operating system and all the utilities that enable the computer to function.
 * applications software** **:** Includes programs that do real work for users. For example, word processors, spreadsheets, and database management systems fall under the category of applications software.
