Description
- Background: As mentioned in Topic 5 (Computer Hardware), computer software is compared to your mind. Each and everything that happens inside the computer is controlled by some form of software: from the high level word processors, games and other applications, to the low-level device drivers that tell your hardware exactly what it has to do to make them work properly. Software is a collection of computer programmes and related data that provides instructions to computer hardware. It is these instructions which tell the hardware that it needs to print a document or save a file or display a webpage, etc.
- Learning Outcome: The learner should be able to describe the major categories of software and their functions.
