this explains it better. A device driver is a small piece of software that lets the OS communicate directly with a specific piece of hardware. Without the driver, the OS wouldn’t know the special commands to send to the device to make it do what you want.

think of a driver as an interpreter or an intermediate or better yet a middle man.

if you have a digital camera, the camera and the computer must talk the same language, but since your camera and your computer are two different electronic devices, the speak different languages, you need an interpreter (driver) to talk between both
