Forum Topic : What is Hardware?
	Submitted by John on 23/06/2009 - 05:52 PM
	Hardware, in the computer world, refers to the physical components that make up a computer system. In information technology, hardware is the physical aspect of computers, telecommunications, and other devices. Like software, hardware is a collective term. Hardware includes not only the computer proper but also the cables, connectors, power supply units, and peripheral devices such as the keyboard, mouse, audio speakers, and printers. Hardware is sometimes used as a term collectively describing the physical aspects of telephony and telecommunications network infrastructure.

Computer Hardware: 1. The Instruction set is the Hardware-Software interface, instructions are "signals" for the hardware and at the same time appear as instructions to the programmer. This is the bridge between and us the machine. 2. A computer hardware works through digital signals like 0 and 1,program instructions like software program executed by central processor and it converts this in to machine code. 3. Computer hardware can be described as the physical features of the computers that include digital circuitry etc. In comparison to software (the parts used within the hardware) computer hardware is not changed or modified much.
