Computer hardware is what you see in the computer case (the hard drive, the video card, the motherboard)Computer software is what you just used to ask this question. Anything you see on your computer screen is a program.

ActuallyComputer hardware is hard: IEthe processor,co-processor(in older systems)ram, bus, cache ect.Computer software is written to manipulate the hardware so that humans can interact with it.

Computer hardware is the physical part of a computer,(not to be confused with software which is not physical) including the digital circuitry, as distinguished from the computer software that executes within the hardware. The hardware of a computer is infrequently changed, in comparison with software and data, which are "soft" in the sense that they are readily created, modified or erased on the computer. Firmware is a special type of software that rarely, if ever, needs to be changed and so is stored on hardware devices such as read-only memory (ROM) where it is not readily changed (and is therefore "firm" rather than just "soft").Most computer hardware is not seen by normal users. It is in embedded systems in automobiles, microwave ovens, electrocardiograph machines, compact disc players, and other devices. Personal computers, the computer hardware familiar to most people, form only a small minority of computers (about 0.2% of all new computers produced in 2003). Computer Software, consisting of programs, enables a computer to perform specific tasks, as opposed to the physical components of the system (hardware). This includes application software such as a word processor, which enables a user to perform a task, and system software such as an operating system, which enables other software to run properly, by interfacing with hardware and with other software or custom software made to user specifications.
