Challenge 7 – Report
Hardware and software are inseparable and complementary, two sides of the same coin.
The hardware is like an empty, inanimate body. The software is what enables
communication between the computer and the user.

 Concept of Software:
Software is the logical and intangible equipment of a computer. In other words, the
concept of software encompasses all computer applications, such as word processors,
spreadsheets, image editors, audio players, and video games, among many others.
 Types of software devices
1. Application software.
2. System software.
3. driver software.
4. Middleware.
5. Programming software.
 Example of software

1. Google Chrome.
Google's browser imposed a paradigm of lightness and speed in the field of Internet
browsers and quickly became popular among Internet enthusiasts. Its success was such
that it opened the door to Google operating system projects and other software to come.
2. Microsoft Excel.
Another tool from the Microsoft Office suite, this time to create and manage databases
and information tables. It is extremely useful for administrative tasks and accounting.
3. Nero CD/DVD Burner.
In clear disuse, this tool allowed you to personally manage the CD or DVD writing units, if
you had the appropriate hardware.
 Concept of hardware:
It is the part that you can see and touch of the devices. That is, all the components of its
physical structure such as screens and keyboards.

 Types of hardware
There are five main hardware components in a computer system: Input, Processing,
Storage, Output and Communication devices.

 Examples of hardware

1. Keyboard and mouse.


The classic mechanisms of entry or incorporation of data by the user, the first through
buttons (keys) and the second mainly through movements.
2. Video-cameras.
Also called webcams, since they became popular with the arrival of the Internet and
videoconferences, they are a typical image and audio input mechanism.
3. Processor.
The core of the CPU (Central Processing Unit) is a chip capable of performing thousands of
calculations per second and that provides the central power of information processing to
the computer system.

 Conclusion:
To end this topic, we can realize that software and hardware are programs that we use
very often without realizing it, or we do not pay much attention to it.
Also, something very important are their types since they have branches that expand
depending on their area.
