2. What is the difference between hardware and software? Give one example of each.

Hardware refers to the physical components of a other electronic device, such as the central processing unit (CPU), memory, storage devices, and input/output devices. These are the tangible parts that can be physically touched and seen. For example, the keyboard and mouse are examples of hardware.

Software, on the other hand, refers to the programs and applications that run on a computer or other electronic device. These are the intangible instructions that tell the hardware what to do. For example, Microsoft Windows is an operating system, which is a type of software that manages the hardware and software resources of a computer. Another example of software is Adobe Photoshop, which is a graphics editing program.
