Hardware

The term hardware actually denotes to the parts and objects that we can touch and fee their existence in physical manner. It includes disk drives, disks, keyboard, display screen, printer and chips and boards. On the other hand, the software is intangible and demonstrated as ideas, symbols and concepts without having any physical existence.

The books are considered the best source of helpful analogy wherein the pages as well as the ink can be termed as hardware and the words, paragraphs or sentences and the relative meanings are the software. Without a proper set of software a computer would be like a book several blank pages. To make a computer really useful, we need the specific software, similarly as we need words to add real worth to a book full of pages.
