2. Hardware vs Software
• A PC has both hardware and software.
• They both play a significant role.
• Hardware and Software are interconnected,
without hardware software would not work.
Vice versa
• We will look at both of them and get to know
differences between them.

3. Hardware
• A computer Hardware are the
physical components or parts
of the computer system.
• The physical parts of the
computer and related devices
( Internal and External).
• Hardware Is divided into two,
there are external
components also known as
peripherals and internal
components known and
processing and storage.
External
components
Internal
components
Mouse Memory chip
Keyboard Hard disk
printer Graphics card
speaker processor

4. TYPES OF HARDWARE

5. Software
• Set of programs or instructions.
• The computer programs and related data that
provides instruction for the telling the computer
hardware what to do and how to do it.
• It enables computer to use hardware.
• There are two major software, system and
application software.

6. Software
System software
• Programs that’s support the
execution and development of
other programs.
Application Software
• Programs designed to perform a
specific task.

7. Differences Between Hardware
and Software
Hardware
• Physical
• Physical components
• Understands only binary
• Faults are physical
Software
• Natural
• Set of programs
• Translates source code of binary
• Faults are logical
