HARDware {EXLearn}:-


Hardware is best described as a device that is physically connected to your computer or something that can be physically touched. A CD-ROM, Monitor, Printer, and video card are all examples of computer hardware. Without any hardware your computer would not exist and software would have nothing to run on. The image to the right is of a webcam, an example of an externalhardware peripheral that allows users to make videos or pictures and transmit them over the Internet.
What are HARDware upgrades?
A hardware upgrade is any new hardware that replaces or adds to old hardware in the computer. A good example of a common 
hardware upgrade is a RAM upgrade, where the user is increasing the computers total memory, which will increase its overall speed and efficiency. Another good example is doing a video card upgrade, which is the act of removing the old video card and replacing it with a new video card that is much more capable than the previously installed video card, again increasing the capabilities of the computer.

Internet{Exlearn}:-

Alternatively referred to as the net or the web, the Internet was initially developed by the IPTO with the intention of helping to develop the progress of computing technology by linking the work being done by all the best academic computer centers. The Internet as we know it today first started being developed in the late 1960's and transmitted its first message on Friday, October 29, 1969. In1993 the Internet experienced one of its largest growths to date and today is accessible and used by people everywhere in the world. The Internet utilizes theTCP/IP protocol and is accessed using a computer modem or network that is connected through an ISP.
The Internet contains billions of web pages created by people and companies from around the world, making it a limitless location to locate information and entertainment. It is also full of numerous services that help make life more convenient. For example, many financial institutions offer online banking that enables a user to easily manage their account online.
General information about the Internet:
·         The Internet is explored, aka surfed, using a computer browser.
·         Finding information on the Internet is achieved by using a search engine.
·         Users browse web pages by following hyperlinks.
·         Besides browsing web pages, the Internet is also a popular method of communicating with others through online web forums, chat rooms, e-mails, and instant messages. In addition to communicating, users also use the Internet to share files, pictures, songs, and video over the Internet.

Hardware

Question:-

What are the differences between hardware / software?


Software








Answer:-

There are several differences between computer hardware and software. However, the fundamental difference between hardware and software is that hardware is a physical device something that you're able to touch and see. For example, the computer monitor you're viewing this text on or the mouse you're using to navigate is considered computer hardware.
Software is code and instructions that tell a computer or hardware how to operate. This code can be viewed and executed using a computer or other hardware device. However, without any hardware software would not exist. An examples of software is Microsoft Windows, an operating system that allows you to control your computer and other programs that run on it. Another example of software is the Internet browser you're using to view this page.
