What is software?
Types of software
Operating system
Programs
There are different kinds of software. For example, the operating system and the programs we use to go on the internet or draw pictures.
Programs help us do specific jobs. A word processor helps us write documents, and a video player helps us watch movies.
Software is all the programs that make the computer work. It tells the hardware what to do and how to do it.
The operating system is the most important software on the computer. It's like the conductor of an orchestra who makes sure all the musicians play together.

File extensions
Folders are like boxes where we keep our files organized. Files are digital documents: photos, videos, music, writing, and more. Each file has a name and a specific type.
To keep our files organized, we can create folders with clear names like “School Work.” It's also helpful to save related files in the same folder.
Antivirus programs help protect our computer. The antivirus constantly checks the operating system, programs, and files to get rid of computer viruses.
Extensions are the letters that come after the dot in a file's name. For example: JPG and PNG are extensions for picture files.
Output devices
Output devices show us the information the computer has worked on. Some examples are: the monitor, speakers, printer, and headphones.
Input devices
Input devices let us send information to the computer. These include the keyboard, mouse, microphone, and webcam.
Hardware inside the computer
Inside the computer, there are very important parts that you can't see. • Processor: This does all the computer's thinking and work.
• RAM: This keeps information ready while you're using it. • Hard drive: This saves all your files and programs, so you don't lose them.
Hardware you can see
The most important parts of hardware that you can see are: • Monitor or screen: This is where you see everything you do on the computer.
• Keyboard: You use this to type letters and numbers. • Mouse: This helps you point and click on things on the screen. • CPU case: This is the box that keeps all the inside hardware parts safe. .
What is hardware?
Hardware is all the parts of a computer that you can touch. These are the real, physical pieces that make up a computer.
The difference between hardware and software
Hardware is all the computer parts you can touch and hold. Software includes the programs you can't touch, but they help you use the computer.
