1. WHAT IS HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE? Guadalupe Vzquez 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 .
