Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer like the monitor, keyboard, and mouse. It is composed of various components like the CPU, RAM, hard drive, and others. Hardware is classified by its function into basic components needed for the computer to work and supplementary devices. Software consists of instructions that control the behavior of computer hardware. There are three main types: application software used by users, programming software used by developers, and system software that manages hardware resources and allows interaction with the operating system. Software is run on hardware but has no physical existence of its own. Hardware and software have an interdependent relationship and require each other to make the computer functional.

1. WHAT IS
HARDWARE
AND
SOFTWARE?
Guadalupe Vázquez Alfonso

2. HARDWARE
Hardware is the physical part of
the computer like the mouse, the
keyboard or the monitor. Most of
them contains electronics.
Without it the computer wold not
exist.

3. HARDWARE
The hardware is very important because
without it we could not enter the CD into the
computer, print the things that we want yo
write with the keyboard.

4. HARDWARE
The hardware is normally composed by:
1. Monitor
2. Motherboard
3. CPU
4. RAM
5. Expansion Card
6. Power supply
7. Optical Disk
8. Hard Disk
9. keyboard
10. Mouse

5. HARDWARE
There are 2 types of hardware by its function:
●
Hardware basic: devices needed to make the
computer work
●
Supplementary Hardware : devices that
complement the computer, but are not central
to its operation

6. HARDWARE
Classification by hardware location:
●
Peripherals: external componets of the
computer.
●
Internal componets: Internal components of
the computer
●
Ports: connect peripherals with internal
components

7. HARDWARE
Flow classification hardware information:
●
Output peripherals : monitor, printer, etc.
●
Input peripherals : keyboard, mouse , etc.
●
Peripherals / storage devices : hard drive,
memory etc.
●
Communication peripherals : modems, ports,
etc.
●
Processing devices : CPU, microprocessor ,

8. SOFTWARE
Software is a collection of instructions that
can be ‘run’ on a computer. These
instructions tell the computer what to do. It isn
´t a physical thing, it is only a lot of codes.

9. SOFTWARE
The software is developed using various
programming languages ​​that control the
behavior of a machine. These languages
​​are a set of symbols and rules.
There are 3 types of software: Software
application, software programming and
software system.

10. SOFTWARE
Software Application :
This includes all programs that allow
users to perform a specific task or tasks .
Here are programs that individuals use
on a daily basis as word processors,
spreadsheets, editors ,
telecommunications , software,
numerical and symbolic computation ,
video games, among others.

11. SOFTWARE
Software Programming :
Those tools that a programmer uses to
develop software . For this, the
programmer uses different programming
languages ​​. As an example can be taken
compilers , software computer aided
design , integrated packages , text
editors , linkers , debuggers , interpreters
, among others.

12. SOFTWARE
System software :
The one that allows users to interact
with the operating system as well as
control it. This system consists of a
series of programs that aim to
manage hardware resources.

13. HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
There are some relations between hardware
and software:
●
The both works together to make the
computer works.
●
The programs of the software give
anstuctions to the hardware to realise some
works.
●
The hardware is the physical part, without it
the software woud not exist

14. HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
There is a special relationship between
hardware and software because they are
complementary and interdependent.
Nothing useful can be done by the
computer hardware and software without
the support of the other .
