Computer Software—the invisible force that makes hardware useful. While hardware refers to the physical parts of a computer, software is the set of instructions and programs that tell the hardware what to do. Without software, even the most powerful computer would just sit idle. In this lesson, we’ll look at: System Software – programs like operating systems that manage hardware and basic operations. Application Software – programs we use to perform specific tasks, such as Microsoft Word, Excel, or web browsers. Utility Software – tools that help maintain and protect the computer, like antivirus programs or disk cleaners.
