Understanding Computer Hardware

The video tutorial explains the concept of hardware in computer technology, highlighting its physical nature compared to the intangible nature of software. It categorizes hardware into internal components like the motherboard and CPU, and external components like the mouse and keyboard. The tutorial also covers the virtualization of hardware, where virtual versions of internal components are created to share resources, often used in infrastructure as a service.

What is the primary difference between hardware and software in computer technology?

• Hardware is intangible, while software is tangible.

• Hardware refers to physical components, while software refers to instructions.

• Hardware is used for input, while software is used for output.

• Hardware is always external, while software is always internal.

Which of the following best describes the relationship between software and hardware?
