Today I'm going to talk about why software - any software, all software - actually matters, what the different types of software are, and why you should care about its properties (no matter who you are, or what you do).

I'm not sure who the audience for this essay is but the tone is particularly patronizing. So much so, I had to stop half way through, go and calm down for a few minutes and return to read the rest. And we already know all of this anyway. The examples are very extreme doomsday scenarios and unlikely to occur in real life. I don't think this is a very well written essay at all for the tone, style, grammar and content!
