Techopedia Explains Software
The theory of software was first proposed by Alan Turing in 1935 in his essay: Computable numbers with an application to the Entscheidungs problem. However, the word software was coined by mathematician and statistician John Tukey, in a 1958 issue of American Mathematical Monthly in which he discussed electronic calculators’ programs.
