Quite a few of us know everything of something rather than knowing everything of something! Computer is one thing we all use but, the way we use our PC is very diverse and interesting when compared among all of us. Also many a times we carry a impression about our knowledge very optimistically but when tested shows opposite results.

We all have some idea about Computer Hardware as well as Software and most of us might be very correct in our knowledge.

Well, lets start with computer hardware. Computer Hardware comprises of the physical parts like Monitor, Keyborad, Mouse, CPU, Hard Disk, etc ( parts which have physical dimensions like weight, length, volume etc ). Parts which are tangible. Not only relating to computers, but even otherwise any object or a part is largely called as Hardware item.

Coming to the Software. The operating system like WINDOWS, programs like MS Word, Powerpoint which let you perform a function fall under the larger category called Softwares. Going a bit deeper, a program is a set of code lines in some language like C or JAVA or Visual Basic. A program is not tangible. It does not have any physical attributes.

Lets take one interesting example of a CD which has a Game in it. Now the CD as such is Hardware and the Game program in it is the software.

Invariably a software is stored on a media like a CD, DVD or a Floppy. Now CD is a Hardware item whereas the code lines inside that CD is Software.

Hope you get your funda clear

All the best!
