SOFTWARE CHARACTERISTICS

►Software is a Logical System Element.

Software is a "Logaical System Element" rather that a Physical System Element. It is because the software is developed or engineered not manufactured in the classical sense.

►Software does not wear out.

Software is not susceptible to Environmental Maladies (e.g. dust, vibration, abuse, temperature extremes etc) that causes the hardware to ware out.

►Software tends to be Custom built.

Software is Custom built rather than being assembled from the existing components.
