Soft Ware and Hardware

The document defines hardware and software, describing hardware as the physical components of a computer system like a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Software refers to the programs and data that tell the computer what to do and are intangible. It explains that software must be installed in hardware to function, and hardware requires software to perform tasks. Both are interdependent but distinct, with the system relying on input and output devices to take instructions and display results.

Hardware and

software
Lets define H & S…
A computer system is
divided into two
categories: Hardware and
Software. Hardware refers
to the physical and visible
components of the system
such as a monitor, system
unit, keyboard and mouse.
Software, on the other
hand, The programs
and data that tell a
computer what to do.
It's the intangible part
of the computer
system.
The software must be installed
in the hardware to function
properly and similarly, the
hardware must be present for
the tasks to be performed. Both
are interdependent, yet they are
also different from each other.
The functioning of a computer
system is based on the combined
usage of both input and output
devices. Using an input device
we can give instructions to the
computer to perform an action
and the device reverts to our
action through an output device.
Other Examples
Activity
Each group will classify the given
list either Hardware or Software
EACH GROUP WILL MENTION THEIR CLASSIFICATIONS AND THEIR
EXPLANATION.

How software and
hardware work
together?
Ms word is an example of software tells

displaying the text on the screen or
printing a document.
Without software,
hardware is like a tool
without instructions.
Let’s review the key points of the lesson:
Definitions of software and hardware,
examples of each, and the role of software
in making hardware functional.
Any clarifications?
Homework Task:
