Since the labor is so much cheaper in India than it is in the United States‚ more and more software industries move their companies over seas. It is also very easy to transfer software from one continent onto another due to today ’s technology. India has a comparative advantage over software because they specialized in this field‚ they do not need many resources to make it and they get the people to do it. Because of this they can export their product to other countries and buy some other product

Evolution of Software The Early Years (50’s – 60’s) * This generation was characterized by Batch orientation‚ limited distribution‚ and customization of software. * In Batch Processing‚ the system handles an entire sequence of jobs together‚ often with little or no human intervention. * Also‚ as computers were not widely used at that time‚ only in scientific and military institutions‚ software could be highly customized since distribution was limited. Job mobility was low‚ and the
