Software is a stylish type of clothing you put on your device woven in special fabric called code. Many companies around the world spend thousands of dollars and hours perfecting their software. Software is mainly used to tell computers to do things.
History[edit | edit source]
Software was created by John Wilder Tukey in 1956 who realised humans wouldn’t be able to work on computers if they looked visually unappealing. Early computers used machine clothing which looked awful which made problems hard to debug. Tukey realised this problem and started traveling all over the world for materials he could make stylish clothing out of. On his trip to England, he discovered the rare Fortran plant which he harvested to weave his clothing out of. He called his clothing “software” and called the cloth in which software is created “code”. The overharvesting of the Fortran plant led to other things be used like Pythons and Rust.
The C revolution[edit | edit source]
In the 1970's Dennis Ritche searched for a new plant to weave UNIX, a popular OS at the time. He sought out to do this because it was woven with an extremely poor-quality plant that caused the computer to get to hot and crash. Ritche began crossbreeding different types of plants until he got the perfect plant. Ritche spread the plant all over the world causing many to use it and praise it for its amazing quality.
Types[edit | edit source]
Software comes in three main types:
- Operating system software (OS software)
- OS software is used to make the other type of computer ware, hardware more comfortable. It is essential for the computer because without it, the computer would be clothingless and not know what to do with themselves. OS software also makes programmers and users lives easier by making the computer look lit.
- Application software (Apps)
- Apps are the more stylish piece of software used to actually give the computer a use. There are many types of apps for the computers to wear. Some of the most popular being Adobe Potatochop, MS Word and Minecraft. Some apps have been criticized for being uncomfortable and hard to take off which are known as malware. The only way to take off malware is to install a special application software known as an antivirus.

Microsoft[edit | edit source]
Microsoft is one of the leading brands in the software business. They are famous for creating Windows, an OS that allowed you to layer apps on top of each other creating warmth for the computer.
