List Of Software Categories
Computer software can be organized into categories based on common function, type, or field of use. There are three broad classifications: (1) Application software is the general designation of computer programs for performing user tasks. Application software may be general purpose (word processing, web browsers, ...) or have a specific purpose (accounting, truck scheduling, ...). Application software contrast with (2) System software, a generic term referring to the computer programs used to start and run computer systems and networks; and (3) Computer programming tools, such as compilers and linkers, used to translate and combine computer program source code and libraries into executable RAMs (programs that will belong to one of the three said categories).

“All cultural change reduces itself to a difference of categories. All revolutions, whether in the sciences or world history, occur merely because spirit has changed its categories in order to understand and examine what belongs to it, in order to possess and grasp itself in a truer, deeper, more intimate and unified manner.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
