In the text box below you should describe, in as much detail as you can, the
difference between Hardware and Software.

Hardware refers to the physical components that make up a computer system such as the
monitor, keyboard, mouse, motherboard and hard drive. It is the tangible, visible parts that
can be touched and seen. While software on the other hand, refers to the intangible parts
of a computer system. It refers to the program, applications and operating system that run
on the hardware. It is the set of instructions that tell the computer what to do and how to
do it.
