How did computers work without software?
Programmable digital computers have never worked without software (or firmware). Even ENIAC used a form of firmware to work, it had to have programs wired into it by hand from 1945 to 1948, then from 1948 on software was loaded by manually setting hundreds of rotary switches.All modern computers can only do one thing without software: start a preloaded bootstrap program running. The bootstrap program is a piece of software (or firmware) that tells the computer how to set itself up, find the OS software, and start the OS software running. This preloaded bootstrap program is either entered manually by the operator at turnon (very rare anymore) or resides as firmware in a ROM loaded at the factory.

How does firmware work?
Firmware is software installed on an electronic device. It gives instructions for how the device works, similar to a OS such as Windows. Firmware is usually stored in the flash ROM of a device. While ROM stands for "read-only memory," flash ROM can be erased and rewritten because it is a type of flash memory such as a Memory Stick. You may need to update the firmware of certain devices, such as hard drives and video cards in order for them to work with a new operating system or to fix problems they may have. Sometimes manufacturers release firmware updates that simply make their devices work more efficiently and add features. Make sure that once you start a firmware updater, you let the update finish, because most devices will not function if their firmware is not recognized. The PlayStation Portable is one such device that offers firmware upgrades to enhance it's features and stability. Please see this wonderful firmware FAQ. If you ever decide to upgrade to a "homebrew firmware" which is firmware not released by Sony, do it your own risk: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=918340&topic=40931944 I hope this helps Tehee This doesnt tell what u actually use it for
