Example:

Web Browser: If you have ever visited a website, you have used a web browser. Some of the most common browsers are Internet Explorer, Google's Chrome, or Mozilla's Firefox. When you request a webpage, HTML, CSS, and Javascript files are sent through the internet to your web browser. Your browser reads all of these files and presents the information to you based on the instructions in these files. Think of a web browser as a TV. Your TV gets data from the cable and presents that data in beautiful video and audio.
