Moving onward the book not only defines the word, software, in the literal textbook sense but also proceeds to contrast it from hardware by identifying it as a logical element and gives a list of characteristic differences of the two. The three characteristics it lists are how software is developed, how software ages, and how it is custom built unlike most of the things in the world.
