Software

Software (originally and, now, alternatively known as computer software) is either some bundle of computer data and programs that makes the computer produce specified results or a digital construct that can be installed, instantiated and executed on a computing device, specifically for the purpose of assisting in the capture, creation, manipulation, tracking, management, and reporting of specified data. The digital construct also known as a software application. The difference between the two is that some bundle of computer data and programs is not necessarily installed, instantiated and operational, whereas an application is installed, instantiated and operational as in the application of that bundle.
