HARDWARE -  THE PHYSICAL COMPONENTS 
. OF A COMPUTER, SUCH AS THE 
CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU), 
RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY (RAM), 
HARD DRIVE, MONITOR, KEYBOARD, 
AND MOUSE. THESE COMPONENTS 
WORK TOGETHER TO PERFORM 
COMPUTING TASKS.
•SOFTWARE - The Programs And Applications That Run On A 
Computer, Including The Operating System (E.G., Windows, MacOS) And 
Applications (E.G., Word Processors, Web  Browsers). Software Provides 
Instructions For The Hardware To Execute.
.
CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT {CPU}
Often referred to as the "brain" of the computer, the CPU 
executes instructions from software and performs basic 
arithmetic, logic, control, and input/output operations.
RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY (RAM)
A TYPE OF VOLATILE MEMORY THAT TEMPORARILY STORES DATA 
AND INSTRUCTIONS THAT THE CPU NEEDS WHILE PERFORMING 
TASKS. MORE RAM ALLOWS A COMPUTER TO HANDLE MORE 
APPLICATIONS SIMULTANEOUSLY AND RUN MORE COMPLEX 
PROGRAMS EFFICIENTLY.
