SOFTWARE
Description
Software is a set of instructions, data or programs used to operate computers and execute specific tasks. Opposite of hardware, which describes the physical aspects of a computer, software is a generic term used to refer to applications, scripts and programs that run on a device.
Software can be thought of as the variable part of a computer and hardware the invariable part.
