All computer systems need two types of parts to make them run.
These two parts work together to make the computer system function smoothly and accurately. The two basic parts of a computer system are described below.
1. Hardware:
The hardware is any part of the computer that you can touch and see. Examples of hardware are the keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
2. Software:
The software is the part of the computer you cannot physically touch but is very important. The software is the programming that tells the computer what to do. Software controls everything that the computer does. Microsoft Word and UltraKey are examples of kinds of software.
