Hardware

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 external hardware peripheral that allows users to make basic videos, transmit videos of themselves over the Internet, and take pictures. <
