IT Element Software

The opposite of software, hardware, is covered elsewhere in the table of IT elements by Computers, Technology, the Internet and the Cloud. Everything else is either software or human (wetware!) We only know that software exists because the coded instructions therein allow things to happen to more tangible things that we can see or experience outside of the technology.

Software is a very malleable substance, which makes it very flexible to create (program), but it can also become complex, unmanageable and prone to errors (bugs) – the so-called ‘software problem’.


That’s  just a little taster of what this IT element is all about. To find out more, why not Ask the IT Chemist.

About IT Chemist

The IT Chemist is the brains behind the IT Elements. He comes from a science and engineering background (of course!) What he lacks in creativity and the social aspects of IT, he more than makes up for with a thorough understanding of the raw material needed to make technology projects and business change initiatives successful. He is the ‘go to’ man if you have any questions about the Table of IT Elements.

In his spare time the IT Chemist likes to catalogue his bus ticket collection and repair his Sinclair C5.
