What Is Hardware? What Is Software?

Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer system including input devices, output devices, the central processing unit, memory, and storage devices. Software manages the complexity of the hardware and allows for communication between the various components through programs running on the computer. There are three main types of software: system software like the operating system that manages computer resources, application software that helps users perform tasks, and software development programs that are used to build other software programs.
