Drivers are programs designed to enable your computer's operating system communicate with your computer's hardware. Since there are many computer electronics manufacturers and all of them have their own manufacturing processes, the way they communicate differs. This means that each manufacturer has to write (in some programming language) a set of instructions that your operating system will the use to effectively use the installed hardware. Drivers are necessary for nearly every piece of hardware, i.e. motherboards, graphics cards, network cards, input and output devices such as a keyboard, mouse, printers, drawing tablets etc.
