I needed 
My wife and I have been trying to encourage our children to pursue careers that are going to allow them to have employment in the foreseeable future. We have been encouraging them to look into two basic fields of study. One is medicine, and the other is computer engineering. After talking with my oldest daughter, it seems like computer engineering is going to be what she will be most interested in. Yesterday, she was doing some research on the Internet searching for an Information on the significance and uses of different kinds of computer software that help in making life simple and convenient.
Technology is changing and updating itself at a breakneck speed and as a result of this, unimaginable things are now not only becoming possible but also extremely convenient. The computer which happens to be the biggest gift of technology to mankind consists of two main parts namely the software and the hardware. While the hardware deals with the physical part of the functioning of a computer, the software is responsible for conveying to the hardware about the tasks that have to be performed. In simple words, the hardware is the body of the computer while the computer software is the part that tells the brain what to do. Hence, it is obvious that the software forms the central part of the efficient working of any computer.
The main function of the software is to translate directions and concepts to the hardware so that the task can be performed appropriately. This function includes converting the language we can understand into computer language in order to make it possible for the hardware to understand the nature of the function to be performed. It is now made evident that without the required computer software, it is impractical to operate a computer. Now let us try and understand how this software is created. The people who are in charge of designing and creating software are the compute programmers that make use of a unique programming language. While making the software, this programmer writes his programs with the help of commands that are written in simple language which is very easy for any of us to understand. The technical name for these commands is ‘source code. ‘ After the process of expressing data with the help of the source code is complete, a program known as ‘compiler’ is used on this code so that the data can be translated into a language that can be understood by the computer hardware.
