Detail of Software and Hardware

 Topic

 There are available only two things in computer system one is software and another is hardware.  Both is opposite of each other but cannot work without each other. Basically every person is known about computer because it is basic part of human. If you want to travel, you can use any website for online ticket, if any management is distributing salary to staff it will you payroll system, biometric for attendance sheet. Now a day computer is growing in every country. Here we will discuss only two topics one is software and another is hardware.

 Concepts

For learn more values and things about computer related topic we have to focus on these two basic topic software and hardware. Software is collection of many programs. Program is collection of many instructions for specified task. Software is not touchable things. It is no physical things. While hardware is opposite of software. You can easily touch the hardware like keyboard, monitor, mouse, printer etc.

Definition

Computer Hardware

Computer Hardware is any part of the computer that we can touch these parts. Computer Hardware is the primary electronic devices used to build up the computer. For example, monitor printer, keyboard, touchpad, joystick etc.

Computer Software

Computer Software is collection of many programs. Programs are collection of many instructions which is creating only specific task. For example, payroll software, MS-Office, Income tax software, Inventory Management Software etc. Computer Software is always two type (a) Application Software (b) System Software.

Explain

Computer Software is use for connect the people with the hardware machine. Any type of user can easily connect with the computer. User should not have any idea about computer programming / computer coding.  As we know computer software is two type one application software and system software.  System Software means operating system (like window), user can not connect with computer machine without the help of System Software.  Application Software is a platform for user so that user can work friendly.  Computer Hardware is tangible components. Computer Hardware is an electronic device which is provide the user’s basic platform. You can easily touch computer hardware for the work and computer software cannot be touch by user.

 Computer Software

As we know computer software has two main parts one is System Software and Application Software.

System Software

 System Software is middle level to connect the user and machine. When you turn on the computer or laptop it will on system software. System Software is basic part of the computer. you cannot do the work without  the help of system software. Computer Hardware cannot understand the language of the human so that you cannot give any type of instructions to computer. If computer is not finding any type of instruction from human it will not work. So it is basic things.

Example

(1)Operating System

(2)Device Drivers

(3)Firmware

(4)Programming language Translators

(5)Utility

Application Software

The application software is also known as end-user programs or productivity programs are software that helps the user in specific task like online research, designing graphics , keeping an account log , or evening playing game. Application software is lie above the system software. System Software is use for the end user or the specific functionality or tasks.

 Example

(1)Word Processors

(2)Database Software

(5)Graphics Software

(6)Web Browser

Different

There are lots of different between software and hardware:-
