Hardware
The physical components of a system
Software
Set of commands that are processed for an output. For example utility software which is used to change the system (control panel or system preferences). Application software such as Word Processing and Call of Duty. The operating system is also software, it is used so everything such as the printer and word can function and work together.
Components
Input devices: CPU (central processing unit), ROM (read only memory) is non volatile and is permanent, RAM (random access memory) holds what you are currently doing such as playing a game, it's continously changing and is volatile. RAM and ROM are primary memory, secondary storage is the hard drive.
Output devices: Printers such as laser.
Interface
GUI's (graphical user interface) are WIMP's (windows, icons, menu's, pointers) and Command line interface.
You need to sort out the font colour but the blog's looking good and I'm glad you're getting in to TAGGING.
