The concept of stored program was presented by Dr.John Von Neumann.

a program that is stored in the memory of the computer that executes it

By stored-program computer, we mean a machine in which the program, as well as the data, are stored in memory, each word of which can be accessed in uniform time. Most of the high-level language programming the reader.
The invention of software (aka computer programs) was just one part of the invention of the stored program computer in the 1940s. Without it a stored program computer is no more than a very complex and expensive electrical heater!
PROGRAM
CPU
This is not known. John von Neumann is commonly credited, but he simply documented an idea that had been discussed for some time by the various designers of ENIAC.
A computer program that is designed to replicate itself by copying itself into the other programs stored in a computer.
The Countess Ada Augusta of Lovelace is usually credited with designing and writing the first computer program. However as the computer it was written for, Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine, was never built this program was largely an academic exercise.The first program for a computer that was actually built was designed in 1944 and ran on the British cryptanalytic computer Colossus. It is unknown who did the work as the entire project was classified and most of the records were destroyed after the war.The first program for a stored program computer (the type that modern computers are), consisting of 17 instructions, was written by Tom Kilburn, and first ran on June 21, 1948 on the Manchester Baby computer.
The term persistence in Computer Science, refers to the stored information (known as state), which outlives the executed computer program (or process). Persistence is important, without it all computer stored information would be lost whenever a computer is shut down.
The Manchester Baby was the first computer to run a program from memory, it ran its first program on June 21, 1948. The program was stored in a 32 word CRT based DRAM and consisted of 17 instructions; it ran for 52 minutes before reaching the correct answer of 131,072, after performing 3.5 million operations (for an effective CPU speed of 1.1 kIPS).The modified ENIAC was the second computer to run a program from memory, it ran its first program as a stored-program computer on September 16, 1948. The program was stored in the 100 word Function Table ROM switches as 2 digit instructions (allowing storage for up to 500 instructions).
They are stored in the program itself so you can only delete them through Firefox.
