Software on the other hand is not a physical item, and is only a program written as instructions for hardware to follow. One simple example of this is used referring to yourself, a grocery list and a pencil. Imagine that you are a hardware device, the pencil is a dvd/cd writer, the piece of paper the list is written on is a disc. All of these are physical items and are referred to as hardware, The software here is the contents of the list itself, It is not a physical item, only written instructions on what is needed.
