1. The document discusses the differences between applications (apps) and system software, as well as hardware, firmware, and software. 2. System software manages system resources and serves as a platform to run application software, while application software performs specific functions. System software runs automatically at startup/shutdown, while application software runs on user request. 3. The document also compares hardware, firmware, and software. Hardware are physical computer components, software are programs that can be updated, and firmware is semi-permanent software that may require more skill to update.

2. Diffrence between APPS & Software:
Software Application software(APPS)
software is meant to manage
the system resources. It
serves as the platform to run
application software.
Application software helps
perform a specific set of
functions for which they have
been designed.
software automatically starts
running once the system is
turned on and stops when the
system is shut down.
Application software runs as
and when the user requests it.
A system cannot even start
without system software
Application software is user
specific and it is not needed
to run the system on the
whole.
System software is endowed
with a general purpose.
Application software carries a
specific purpose.
A typical example for a system
software is Windows
Operating System
A typical example for a system
software is Windows
Operating System
software can run
independently. It provides
platform for running
application software.
Application software can’t run
independently. They can’t run
without the presence of
system software.
Some examples of system
software are compiler,
Some examples of application
software are word processor,

3. assembler, debugger, driver,
etc.
web browser, media player,
etc.
Diffrence between hardware,firmwhare & software:
Hardware Software Firmware
Hardware is the
physical
components of a
system that the
software and
firmware run on,
and that are
updated least often
(if ever)
Software is the set
of user programs
running on a
system that are
designed to be
updated often by
those users
Firmware is semi-
permanent
software running
on a system that
may or may not be
updated often, and
usually require a
higher level of skill
or effort
hardware is a
collection of
instrument.
software is a set of
instruction and it is
group of program.
Example: - icon,
desktop, taskbar
etc.
Firmware is a
combination of
software and
hardware.
The example of
hardware are:
Remote, Keyboard,
Software Example
icon, desktop,
taskbar etc.
While the example
of firmware are:
BIOS, EPROM chips,
etc.

4. mouse, speakers,
etc.
the machines,
wiring, and other
physical
components of a
computer or other
electronic system.
the programs and
other operating
information used
by a computer.
permanent
software
programmed into a
read-only memory.
