'Hardware' is the
term used to describe any kind of computer equipment (think of it as being
something that can be physically
touched).
For example - on a CD, the music or the
computer files are the software, the disk itself is the hardware.
Hardware can be divided into five main types:
Input Devices
Output Devices
Storage Devices & Media
Communication Devices
Domestic Devices
