What is the difference between hardware and software?


Typical hardware that can be found in a PC (Personal Computer) are motherboards which is basically the main component to a computer and serves as a port/connection for all the other units in a computer. Media devices, memory devices, power supplies and of course the mouse and keyboard are also in the list of computer hardware. Software involves digitally stored data which is used for programming so that a computer could run. Websites, Word Processing Programs, Operating systems, and video games are examples of computer software. The difference between hardware and software is that hardware involves the physical appearance of a computer, while software involves the internal programing of a computer.
