The importance of computer Software.

We can use computer software in the classroom by, allowing children to do educational things and play different games etc.
Computer software is most commonly created by computer programmers using a programming language. The programmer writes commands in the programming language that are similar to what someone might use in everyday speech. These commands are called source code. Another computer program called a compiler is then used on the source code, transforming the commands into a language that the computer can understand. The result is an executable computer program, which is another name for software.
Computer software falls into two primary categories: system software and application software. System software represents programs that allow the hardware to run properly. Application software represents programs that allow users to do something besides simply run the hardware.

A few different types of computer software include:
*  Computer Games
* Driver Software
* Educational Software
* Media Players and Media Development Software
 * Productivity Software
