What is software?

Everyone uses software in their daily life one way or another whether its purpose is to help you communicate with others (ex.Skype) or to entertain you (Pokemon Go). There are many ways we describe software and some of the terms describe the purpose of it as well. They are often called: App, Mobile Apps, Application, Solutions, and Game.

Disregarding the name how people call it, every software is designed to address a specific issue for a group of people.

How does software affect our lives?

Software is everywhere. Almost anything with electronic components uses software. A smartphone is the best example. Now a day, we can pretty much do everything on a smartphone because of the software installed on it. The other example is our traffic light system. Behind what we see the lights turning in different colors is a set of controllers that run Linux operating system that determines the proper signal at the time. Without the traffic light system, it becomes impossible to drive on the road without having accidents. Without the smartphone technology, we won’t be able to reach the level of convenience we have in our lives.

How does software affect your business?

Software helps enhance quality of life and it could also enhance business performance. QuickBook is one of the typical examples. If you have an accountant in your company, you will most likely know the software. It is designed to help accountant keep track of all the transaction and generate reports for you. Also, if you are doing business with other businesses, you would probably use Gmail or Outlook to send emails. These are all the examples how software aids your business operation.
