    A software is a life created by humans, which lives on ventilators till its death. The programmers are the creators, and the adopters provide the ventilators. Apart from these, there are a third set of people in a software's life. These are the care takers, who ensure the availability of sufficient number of ventilators.

    The creators infuse life into the software by imbibing limited thinking capacity into them. The kind of thinking capacity and the quality of thinking, gives a distinct personality to different softwares. Each software's breathing ability is differnt too, and so are the dependency on breathing aids.

    More often than not, the creators would find a few adopters to provide the breathing aids. Generally the adopters would not provide the ventilatory service free of cost. Rather, they provide the service in return for the thinking ability the software possesses. Thus, before handing the software to the adopters, the creators would generally polish the software's thinking ability to a considerable extent. However, the creators would have always missed to explain certain scenario's to the software and these would be explained during the course of the software's life, either by the creators themselves or by the care takers. These care takers too are programmers, but not the ones who created the software.

    There are few other care takers who's job is to find more and more new adopters and to maintain the relationship with the current adopters, to ensure ample availability of ventilators. These care takers are the support, sales and marketing people. A software would spend most of its lifetime under the umbrella of care takers. Unlike other lives on Earth, the life span of a software is based more on the strength of the care takers and that of the creators than that of its own. However, the cause of death is always the same; insufficient ventilators. Thats how the life of a software ends, who was born solely to serve the adopters.
