Computer software, or just software is a general term
primarily used for digitally stored data such as computer
programs and other kinds of information read and
written by computers. Today, this includes data that has
not traditionally been associated with computers, such
as film, tapes and records.[1]
The term was coined in order to contrast to the old term
hardware (meaning physical devices); in contrast to
hardware, software is intangible, meaning it "cannot be
touched".[2] Software is also sometimes used in a more
narrow sense, meaning application software only.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/softwareandallthatcomeswithit-110412144810-phpapp01/75/Software-and-all-that-comes-with-it-15-2048.jpg)
