Patch (computing)

When we play with our toys, sometimes they break or don't work properly. Our parents may fix them by putting something on them to make them work again. This is like a patch for your toy.

When we use a computer or phone, sometimes there are things that don't work right or there are bad guys trying to break into our device. Computer experts make patches to fix these problems. A patch is like a bandaid for the computer, it helps to fix the problem.

The patch can be downloaded and installed on the computer or phone to make it work properly and keep it safe. Just like we want our toys to work properly and stay safe, patches help our computer and phones to do the same thing.
