Difference Between Hardware and Software

I would like to explore the difference between hardware and software. It is very easy for people to get hardware and software mixed up but I am going to tell you how they are different. Anything that can be stored electronically is software. Storage devices and display devices are hardware. A software problem means there is a problem with the program or data and not with the computer itself. When you purchase a program, you are buying software. But to buy the software, you need to buy the disk (hardware) on which the software is recorded. Software is divided into two categories: systems software and all the utilities that enable the computer to function. Applications software includes programs that do real work for users. Some examples, include word processors, spreadsheets, and database management systems fall under the category of applications software.Some examples of hardware include objects that you can actually touch, like disks, disk drives, display screens, keyboards, printers, boards, and chips. I hope everyone will be able to tell the difference hardware and software by reading the post. I learned alot by researching hardware and software.
