What’s In
We learned that computer hardware is the tangible part of the computer system.
Likewise, we need to understand the software as part of the computer system. And
now we are going to learn the different types of sofware in this lesson.

 What’s New

Activity1.1 Instruction: Find the software terms in the word box. Write the computer
software terms you find in your answer sheet.

Computer Software terms

5
 What is It
Software is the component of a computer system which refers to the set of
instructions written in a code that computers can understand and execute. Another
name for this set of instructions is program.

Three Types of Software

1. System Software. This software tells the CPU what to do, a more common
term is Operating System (OS). The most popular OS in use for PC
microcomputer is Microsoft MS DOS. DOS for short is a collection of various
programs that help control your PC. Other operating systems are Microsoft
Windows (from the early Windows 95 and 98 to the current windows 10, OS
2, MAC OS, Unix, Linux and Apple‟s OS 9.
2. Application Software. This is designed and written to perform specific
personal, business, or scientific processing tasks, such as payroll, processing,
human resource management, or inventory management.

Common Application software:

a. Word Processor – This serves as an electronic typewriter and even more.

With word processors, the user can easily produce
quality documents like memos and reports. Popular
word processors include MS Word and Word Perfect.
b. Spreadsheets- These are programs that simulate a paper divided into rows
and columns, where values can be placed. These are
used for advanced numerical analysis and calculations.
Some of the more common spreadsheet programs are
Lotus 1-2-3 and, Ms Excel and Open Calculate.
c. Database Programs – These serve to collect a structured collection of data,
which can later be managed and manipulated.
d. Presentation Software – These are programs that allow users to create
electronic presentation for reports and other functions.
e. Desktop Publishing Software – This allows the user to create page makeups
and do simple typesetting to produce various materials,
such as books pamphlets, reports, and booklets.
Example of DTP software are MS Publisher, and
PageMaker.
f. Reference Software – These are electronic versions of various references
such as encyclopedia, almanacs, atlases, dictionaries,
thesauri, and the like.

6
 g. Graphics Programs – These allow the creation and manipulation of graphics,
images, objects, and pictures. Some of the common
graphics programs are CorelDraw, Photoshop, and
Computer Aided Design (CAD)
h. Educational Software – These include tutorials and electronic lessons that
give students knowledge or training in a particular
subject or skill, such as Math or Science or in gardening
or cooking.
i. Computer Games – These are programs that simulate real games or provide
entertainment and adventure to users.
j. Network Software – These are programs that make it possible for computers
in different areas to be connected, allowing their users
to communicate with each other.
k. Language Software – These provide programmers with the necessary tools
to write programs and instructions to computer.
3. Programming Software. Programmers use this software for making computer
programs. Programming software is a tool to make software using different
programming languages.
