0The software is the virtual component of the computer through which we are doing our work.
The software is classified as System software and Application Software.
System Software provides the platform for loading application software. System software is the one who controls the hardware and helps users to do their work. It is the soul of the computer system. Once the device is designed, system software is loaded to make it live.
It is similar to humans, where once the body (hardware) is built, the body attains its system software in the name of soul.
Without system software, the hardware is a dead body. And also without hardware, the software is useless.
Application software is a set of programs or commands written to do a user-specific task. Different people use different types of application software. Based on the user requirements, we load our application software on the primary system software. It is like the development of our mind and knowledge based on the situation, schooling, surroundings for a human being.
So generally hardware is the body of the computer, while system software and application software are considered as soul and mind of computer respectively.
