Hardware and software are the components that all computers rely on to function properly. Hardware is all of the physical parts of a computer such as the monitor, the motherboard, USB ports, the hard drive. Any part of an electronic device such as a computer or laptop, that is visible to the human eye is hardware. If you take a computer open hardware is what you would see. Software is the programs and invisible side of the computer. You cannot see a binary digit of electricity by the human eye, but it is there. Software is programs, which can be thought of as directions to be read by the computer.
