 Let's see now what is Software Software.

 The software is the instructions to communicate with the computer and make its use possible. In short, computer software are the programs. We have different types of software, depending on its use or its price, then we will see the types of software that exist. The applications and the App on mobile phones or mobile phones are software.

 Without the software, computers or computers would be useless. For example, without your Internet browser software (Explorer or Chrome), you could not surf the Internet or read this page, and without an operating system, also software, the browser could not work.

 We could also say that the software of a computer is the part that we can not touch. Can you touch Microsoft Windows or Word? Well NO, you can only see what the computer does thanks to the instructions that those programs have, but you will never be able to touch them.
