Software

In order to perform useful work, a computer also needs two kinds of software. Software can be a program or a set of programs that work together. There are two types of software: the operating system and application software. The operating system includes basic instructions that tell the processor how to use other hardware devices, where to find programs, and how to load programs. These instructions are vital to the functioning of the computer. Application software tells the computer how to perform a certain kind of job. The six most common types of application software are word processing, graphics, desktop publishing, spreadsheet, database, and communication software. We use application software for the tasks we need to perform at school, at home, or at office.
