1a. Computer hardware refers to the physical parts or components of a computer such as monitor‚ keyboard‚ Computer data storage‚ hard drive disk‚ mouse‚ printers‚ CPU (graphic cards‚ sound cards‚ memory‚ motherboard and chips)‚ etc. all of which are physical objects that you can actually touch. In contrast‚ software is untouchable. Software exists as ideas‚ application‚ concepts‚ and symbols‚ but it has no substance. A combination of hardware and software forms a usable computing system. They are

IGCSE ICT Revision What is Hardware? Hardware is the physical parts of the computer system – the parts that you can touch and see. A motherboard‚ a CPU‚ a keyboard and a monitor are all items of hardware What is Software? Software is a collection of instructions that can be ‘run’ on a computer. These instructions tell the computer what to do. Software is not a physical thing (but it can of course be stored on a physical medium such as a CD-ROM)‚ it is just a bunch of codes. An operating

of attitude change proposing that inconsistency exists among our attitudes‚ or between our attitudes and behavior‚ we experience an unpleasant state of arousal called cognitive dissonance‚ which we will be motivated to reduce or eliminate. (Bordens & Horowitz 2001) This is a theory‚ which has been transformed over many decades. Cognitive Dissonance varies between individuals who are independent and interdependent.

discussed the example of ink jet printers and their ink cartridges. One cannot be used without the other‚ therefore as the demand for one increases the demand for the other also rises. In economic terms‚ goods that are complementary exhibit a negative cross elasticity of demand. We also discussed how when computers become less expensive then more are purchased‚ thus increasing the demand for peripherals‚ such as mice‚ monitors and software. This demand for peripherals drives up their price. This is
