- Today, software takes on a dual role.
- It is a product and, at the same time, the vehicle
for delivering a product. As a product, it delivers the computing potential embodied by
computer hardware. - Whether it resides within a cellular phone or operates inside a
mainframe computer, software is an information transformer—producing, managing,
acquiring, modifying, displaying, or transmitting information that can be as simple as a
single bit or as complex as a multimedia presentation. - As the vehicle used to deliver the product, software acts as the basis for the control of
the computer (operating systems), the communication of information (networks), and
the creation and control of other programs (software tools and environments). - The role of computer software has undergone significant change over a time span of little more
than 50 years. Dramatic improvements in hardware performance, profound changes in
computing architectures, vast increase in memory and storage capacity, and a wide
variety of exotic input and output options have all precipitated more sophisticated and
complex computer-based systems.
