Software is the set of instructions (also called a program) that guides the hardware to operate
effectively. Software can be split into two main types:

application programs, but which is not specific to any particular application. Common operating
systems include Windows, the Macintosh OS, OS/2 and UNIX.

2. Application Software – Designed to help the user to perform singular or multiple related
tasks. Examples of application software are as follows:

a. Word processing software - Creates, edits, saves, and prints documents. Example: MS
Word, WordPerfect, Ami Pro, MacWrite.

b. Spreadsheet software - An electronic spreadsheet consisting of rows and columns is used to


present and analyze data. Example: MS Excel, Lotus 123, Quattro Pro.

c. Database management software - Used to structure a database, a large collection of


computer programs. Data is organized as fields and records for easy retrieval. Example: MS
Access, dBase, Fox Pro, Oracle.

d. Graphic software - Graphics programs display results of data manipulation for easier
analysis and presentation. Example: Macromedia Flash, Harvard Graphics, 3D Studio Max,
Adobe Photoshop

1.3 People ware - Refers to people involved in the data processing


operations such as the system administrator, office workers, students
and others.
