Hardware & Software

Hardware can be defined as items that you can actually touch or move from one desk or room to another.

Software can be defined as a set of instructions that tells the computer how to behave.

A special type of software, called the operating system (OS), tells the computer how to use all the different devices it can be connected to. e.g. printer, disk drive, keyboard, etc.
