What is hardware? A manufactured item. A manufactured item that you can actually touch. What is the difference between hardware and software? Hardware is the physical manufactured component that you can touch and see. Refers to objects that you can actually touch, like disks, disk drives, display screens, keyboards, printers, boards, and chips. In contrast, software is untouchable. Software exists as ideas, concepts, and symbols, but it has no substance. Software is untouchable. Software can be transmitted through telecommunications. Hardware cannot be transmitted through telecommunications. Software can be installed on hardware. Books provide a useful analogy. The pages and the ink are the hardware, while the words, sentences, paragraphs, and the overall meaning are the software. A computer without software is like a book full of blank pages -- you need software to make the computer useful just as you need words to make a book meaningful.
