Software consists of programs that run on a computer to perform functions, while hardware refers to the physical components. There are two main types of software: system software that manages computer resources, and application software for specific tasks. Hardware includes basic components needed for operation like RAM and ROMs, as well as complementary components like webcams. Common hardware components are networks, hard disks, USB drives, processors, keyboards, and monitors. Together, software and hardware allow computers to function and be used by people.

HARDWARE

2. WHAT IS SOFTWARE?
● The programs that run on a computer and
perform certain functions
● It consists of a series of instructions and data,
that enable us to benefit of all the resources
that the computer has, so you can solve many
problems.

3. ● Administer computational resources
● Provide the tools to optimize these resources.
● Acting as an intermediary between the user and
the stored information.

4. TYPES OF SOFTWARE
● System Software: A set of programs that
manage computer resources.
- Examples: Central processing unit,
communication devices and peripherals,
system software manages and controls access
hardware.

5. ● Application Software: Programs are written to or
users to perform a specific task on the computer.
-We use it to process text,to generate a
spreadsheet, the application software must be on
the system software to operate.

6. ·Programming languages: These programs can be
used to create other programs and application

8. ● The software development industry has
become a major player in the global economy
as it moves millions of dollars a year. The
largest and most popular company in the world
is Microsoft, founded in 1975 by Bill Gates and
Paul Allen. This company was able to transcend
with its Windows and its Office software suite
Office OS.
The software development

9. HARDWARE
● It is the set of components that make the
material part of a computer
● The hardware is usually distinguished from
basic (the devices necessary to initiate
operation of a computer) and complementary
(perform specific functions).

10. FUNCTIONS OF THE HARDWARE
● Storage: Memory
● Input: Input peripherals (E)
● Output: Output peripherals (S)
● Input / Output: mixed Peripherals (E / S)
FUNCTIONS OF THE HARDWARE

11. TYPES OF HARDWARE
● BASIC HARDWARE: this kind of hardware is
made by those essential devices for minimal
operation of a computer. The cabinet, RAMs
and ROMs are are examples.
● HARDWARE COMPLEMENTARY: Includes all
elements of which it is possible to do without,
and yet the functionality of your computer is not
affected. Examples of additional hardware are
reading Webcam or optical disc drive.

12. COMPONENTS OF HARDWARE

13. ● Network:is a computer circuit board or card that
is installed in a computer so that it can be
connected to a network.
● Hard disk:is part of a unit that stores and
provides quick access to large amounts of data
on an electromagnetically charged surface or set
of surfaces.
● USB drive:are portable, removable storage
devices that use flash memory and connect to a
computer's USB port.

14. ● Main drive:primary storage holds data that is in
active use.
● Processor: is a small chip that resides in
computers and other electronic devices. Its
basic job is to receive input and provide the
appropriate output.
● Keyboard:is one of the primary input devices
used with a computer.
● Monitor:a electronic device used to record,
regulate and control a process or system.
