My Invention and Software

In this week's lecture and reading, we learned about software and how it works with the computer. We learned about the different types of software, the different ways in which a computer acts with it, and the ways in which it can be updated. Software is relevant to my invention because I would be able to use it to help make my product better.

Say a new music game comes out, or some new instruments come out for the game, my current invention would not be able to read them and help convert them to the right signal. However, if my company were to use software, we could help remedy this problem. We could produce software updates that could be downloaded to the device that recognized the new instruments and then was able to make them compatible.

These software updates could come through the computer, where if you plugged the device in and went to the company website, you could update it. They could also be available, and probably more conveniently so, through the game system and the internet connection that all current systems provide. This software updating would help my inventions reliability and would allow it to last longer, as it would adapt to the times.
