Some Hardware Parts of Computer

Software
Software is the stuff that makes your computer to do things for you. The computer

without software would be like a home entertainment system with no tapes, CD’s or
movies– you have the machine, but there’s nothing to play on it. Software is
continuously developed. Each time the software makers (Microsoft, Adobe, Corel etc.)

develop a new version of their software, they assign it a version number. Before
Microsoft Word7, there was Microsoft Word 6.0.1, and so on. The larger the
developments made to the software, the larger the version number changes.
