SIZ EDUCATION || HARDWARE DIFFERENCES WITH SOFTWARE || 20% payout to size-official
Assalamualaikum and good night everyone. And my best regards to @siz-official, @suboohi and @cryptokraze. Meet me again, of course @fajarsullivan. So, this time I will discuss about the difference between hardware and software. Let's look at the following reviews.
Do you know the difference between hardware and software? These two devices are closely related to the world of computers. With the hardware and software tools, it is hoped that it can be useful according to their needs. Until the type and function of the two components can work in one device. Not a few hardware devices require software. Therefore this is a sign that there are many components that need to be understood.
The use of hardware often gets many benefits. There are many hardware developments that have helped us in carrying out many activities. Hardware such as PCs, smartphones and others are usually used every day for many purposes.
Then from the software device, each hardware is also needed. Especially with the current technological changes that can bring up many new programs and applications. So that the use of this software is also felt to be able to help everyone in fulfilling their daily activities.
★Hardware Understanding★
Hardware is one of the hardware devices found on computers or smartphones and other devices. From the nature of this hardware can still be seen by naked eye (directly). It can be concluded that the notion of hardware is as a computer component that can be seen clearly.
★Hardware Function★
Hardware functions are divided into several parts. Then in the first part of the hardware functions as an input receiver. Furthermore, from this input will be an information processing process that can be in the form of data or information. After getting the process of receiving data and information, then the next stage is processing.
Therefore, this data processing process takes quite a long time. But because the hardware specifications to support others are considered higher, the data processing process can be faster. Then the results of the output can be seen by the user, then stored in a secondary device on the computer. But there are also hardware devices outside the computer that can be used as data storage.
The purpose of using hardware is to make it easier to process files or data. Almost all fields of work use hardware, each of which has different specifications depending on their individual needs. From here each trap will carry out all its functions in full.
★Hardware Types And Examples★
Regarding the type of hardware based on its function, it can be divided into several items ranging from input traps or called input devices or process devices and others. Below I will discuss one by one.
1. Input/Input Device
This device serves to receive input from the user. Input from this user will be processed into other information. This data can be in the form of images, videos, text and audio. Examples of these devices include:
- keyboard
- mouse
- mic
- scan
- webcam.and others.
2. Data Processing/Processing Devices
Once received, some hardware is in charge of processing input from the user. This device is also known as the brain of the computer. Then then the input or command that has been processed will be forwarded to the output device. Examples of these devices include:
- VGA
- RAM
- Power Supply
- and so on.
3. Out/Output Device
After processing, this device will provide output according to the command or input that has been inputted by the user. This device consists of, among others, namely:
- Monitor
- Printers
- Speaker
- Projector
- and so on.
4. Storage Devices
The function of this device is to store information in the form of data either inside the computer or outside it. Examples of these devices include:
- Hard disk
- Flashdisk
- Memory Card
- and so on.
5. Enhancements/Peripherals
This device serves to assist the computer by performing tasks that are inputted from the user. Examples of these devices include:
- Modems
★Software Understanding★
Software or software becomes an important component in a computer or smartphone system. The software itself becomes a software in the form of a program or application that is able to run all commands according to the function of each.
The software itself consists of many kinds, software that is operated then finally the hardware can carry out its duties as an output device, namely by producing output in the form of images, videos, files or prints in the form of writing.
★Types of Software★
We need to know that the main function of software is as a liaison between hardware and users, but it turns out that in its use the software is still classified again. There are two types of software classification methods, first based on the type and second based on the distribution.
1. By type
- This operating system is a software that functions to coordinate each component, whether it's a computer or smartphone. Examples of operating systems include :
- Android
- Apple
- IOS
- Symbian
- Linux
- Windows
- DOS
- UNIX
- Programming language that serves to provide instructions, in order to define a program. Examples of this software are:
- JAVA
- PHP
- Microsoft Virtual Basic
- Application programs are the software we use most often. Its function is to make it easier for us to carry out daily activities. Examples of application programs are:
- Microsoft Office
- Adobe Photoshop
- Canva
2. Based on the distribution
Freeware is software that can be used for free. However, the features are not complete.
Adware is software that can be obtained for free but there is compensation in the form of advertisements that will appear in it.
Spyware is software specifically designed to spy on user activity.
Open Source is an application where the source code can be opened, improved, modified and distributed. This software is usually found free of charge and developed under the GPL license.
Shareware is software that can be used to share files for free.
★Difference Summary★
From the results of my review above, of course you already know what is the difference between hardware and software. The most basic difference between hardware and software is physically. All hardware or software functions have many functions so that when they are collaborated they will be able to produce useful files or data.
★Conclusion★
There are many types of hardware and software that have their own specifications. In the end, the development of both hardware and software will always take into account the benefits widely so that the user will be better than before and so that the scope of its function is even wider.
All right, my friends. So until here, first post about the difference between hardware and software, hopefully it will be useful and thank you.
Good one Post dear friend you make a very good post thanks for sharing a good information with us my best wishes for you.
