INTRODUCTION TO SOFTWARE

The very first question which arises in our mind when we are going to learn about the software is very basic or we can say a very common question and that is "What is software?" 

• Software is instructions, which tells your computer what to do. It comprises the entire set of programs, data, procedures, and routines associated with the operation of your computer system. A set of instructions or data that directs or instructs your computer's hardware to perform any particular task is called a software program or just a program.

• Software programs are stored as files in your storage device such as the DVD, hard disk, or even in the memory stick.

Without software, your hardware is useless as the hardware wouldn't know what task it was supposed to do. It is your software that allows your hardware to do something useful.

Imagine a day in your life, you wake up and turn your phone on to check messages, it beeps up, shows a black screen, and suddenly died.

You try to use it but you are not able to do it, your battery is full but the phone is dead. Then you rush out of your apartment and found the elevator is not working. When reaching on the street you see traffic lights are not working, cars are standing abandoned in the middle of the street, there were no electricity, no airplanes, banks are closed, shops are empty, in a few days water also runs out, piles of garbages and dead bodies lie on the street, everything just gets mess up. This is how much” software” is important in our daily life. 

WHY SOFTWARE IS IMPORTANT?

Although software development is found for a wide variety of purposes, the one we will refer to here is custom software. This is one of the most common purposes of developing software; that is, to meets the specific needs and all the demands of your customers. That’s why most of the software developing companies mainly offer services that involve teams and dedicated professionals.

Software is simply data processing transfer mean one type of input into a different kind of outputs.

The software helps the organization to manage resources, data, performance, and also help in managing all its internal tasks and communication as well.

BENEFITS OF SOFTWARE

The software allows programs to work. We are now living in a developing world, where, we are now at the stage where literally we would die without computers.

Apart from increasing productivity, software development can also enhance our business in many other aspects.

If you are not a nomad in the desert i.e. it means that you are living a normal life in a modern developed or a developing country, then definitely software affects almost everything you do and that happens to you. From the alarm clock due to which you wake up, the thermostat that sets the heater temperature, the kitchen appliances help you to prepare your food, and that’s before you set out the door. The transportation you on is planned and managed with the software. The car you drive is also heavily dependent on the software(definitely not talking about self-driving cars).

If we talk about government departments that collect your tax and run your schools and hospitals, as well the companies that supply the stores from which you buy foods, the markets that determined the supply and prices of goods and services. This list is endless.

You are the part of this beautiful world, the world of technology, and software controls nearly each and everything you do.
