Parts of Computer

Parts of Computer: 

There are two basic parts that make up a computer.  Hardware: Hardware refers to the physical elements of a computer. This is also sometime called the machinery or the equipment of the computer.

 Examples of hardware in a computer are the kyboard, the monitor, the mouse and the central processing unit. However, most of a computer's hardware cannot be seen; in other words, it is not an external element of the computer, but rather an internal one, surrounded by the computer's casing (tower). 

A computer's hardware is comprised of many different parts, but perhaps the most important of these is the motherboard. The motherboard is made up of even more parts that power and control the computer.

  

In contrast to software, hardware is a physical entity. Hardware and software are interconnected, without software, the hardware of a computer would have no function. 

However, without the creation of hardware to perform tasks directed by software via the central processing unit, software would be useless.  Hardware is limited to specifically designed tasks that are, taken independently, very simple. 

Software implements algorithms (problem solutions) that allow the computer to complete much more complex tasks.  Hardware is basically anything that you can touch with your fingers.
