Software has much more energy and skill invested inside... so in that way it is more powerful than a person,,,
#Software *IS- powerful from these perspectives (which I explain in order of your sentences which almost the direct OPPOSITES of what you said)
█- Software *IS* a "force of nature"
(being us (ourselves and other elements) invested in it, the energy in development, making it come alive as electricity / staying alive using various elements / components of nature)
█- Software *IS* powerful
(accumulative technology and power combined)
It's incremental accumulation and evolution WITH all those people invested into that one software "PACKAGE". (so it's both as people but software package beats average person as an answer for the solution and doesn't need clever user to run it. Yes it needs a use but any old user almost)
█- Without *SOFTWARE* people *ARE* feeble.
THE AVERAGE are weak in programming etc... " and just end #users " mostly.
█ What helps people live their lives better is quite subjective and sometimes extra too, so I agree mostly... but not when software comes into it's own as a package or product OF / BY THE PEOPLE and both part of the same human usage and interaction.
==============
█ SUMMARY
==============
The totality of things added together IS it's power, as any technology is. The availability to users is more accumulative and instant in that way.
Many #people and technologies / #techniques in one thing... wins (or just has much more invested time inside and instantly executable / available / responsive)
