What is Hardware?
Hardware are the physical devices such as motherboard, CPU or monitor.
There are several types of Hardware:
Input Devices
The Input Devices are those through which data is sent outside the central unit processing, such as keyboard, mouse, scanner, or microphone, among others.
Output Devices
The Output Devices are those that receive the data processed by computer and can externalize through peripherals such as monitor, printer, scanner, plotter, speakers, etc.
Devices Input / Output (Peripherals mixed): There are devices that are both input and output peripherals such as these storage, CDs, DVDs, as well as modems, faxes, USB, or network cards.
Hardware Devices Examples
Monitor but is also commonly called "Screen" is a output device, using an interface shows the results of a computer processing
Brands: Sure, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo, Samsung
Cost: $ 340,000 Colombian Pesos
Keyboard is an input device or devices, in part inspired by the keyboard of the typewriter that uses an arrangement of buttons or keys, to act as mechanical levers or electronic switches that send information to the computer.
Brands: Genius, Sure, Logitech, HP
Cost: 19,999 Colombian pesos
Printers
A printer is a computer peripheral that can produce a permanent copy text or graphics of documents stored in electronic form, print them on physical media, usually paper or transparencies, ink cartridges or laser technology
Brands: HP, Epson, Canon, Brother.
Costs: $ 189,000
motherboard, also known as motherboard or motherboard (motherboard English or mainboard) is a printed circuit board which connects the components that make up the computer or computer. Has installed a series of integrated circuits, among which is the chipset, which serves as a hub between the microprocessor, the Random Access Memory (RAM) slots explansión and other devices.
Brands: Asus, Gigabit, Intel, ASRock, AMD.
Costs: 320,000 Colombian pesos
The Micropocesador, or simply processor, is the integrated circuit central and most complex of a computer or computer, by way of illustration, it is usually associated by analogy as the "brains" of a computer
Brands: Intel, AMD
Costs: $ 789,900
random access memory (in English: random-access memory, RAM acronym) is the memory where the processor receives instructions and saves the results.
Brands: Kingstong, Corsair, GSkill, OCZ Supertalent.
Costs: $ 34,999
What is software?
Software intangible is the whole set of data and computer programs.
Software
The Software is the software and intangible allows the computer to perform intelligent tasks, leading to the physical components or hardware with instructions and data through different types of programs.
The Software are the application programs and operating systems, which according to the functions they perform may be classified as:
System Software
is called or System Software Base Software to all programs that serve to interact with the system, giving control over the hardware as well as to support other programs.
The System Software is divided into:
OS The OS is a set of programs that manage computer resources and control its operation.
A OS performs five basic functions: Providing User Interface, Resource Management, File Management, Task Management and Support Service.
Device Drivers
The Device Drivers are programs that allow other higher-level program as an operating system interacting with a hardware device.
Utility Programs
The Utility Programs perform various functions to solve specific problems, in addition to general tasks and maintenance. Some are included in the operating system.
Application Software
The Application Software are programs designed for and by users to facilitate specific tasks computer, such as office applications (procesador de texto, hoja de cálculo, programa de presentación, sistema de gestión de base de datos...), u otros tipos de software especializados como software médico, software educativo, editores de música, programas de contabilidad, etc.
Ejemplos de Software:
Software de Diseño y Edición de Musica e Imágen
Photoshop is the software that is redefining the digital images using new tools for effective photography and innovative features to make complex selections in the pictures, paintings, realistic and smart touches
or Programming Software Development
The Programming Software is the set of tools that allow developers to write computer programs using different alternatives and programming languages.
This software mainly includes compilers, interpreters, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, text editors and integrated development environment that contains the old tools, and usually has an advanced graphical user interface (GUI).
Software Examples:
Microsoft Visual Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE for short English) for Windows operating systems. Supports multiple languages programming such as Visual C + +, Visual C #, Visual J #, ASP.NET and Visual Basic. NET, but now have developed the necessary extensions for many others.
Java
Java is a programming language, object oriented, developed by Sun Microsystems in the early 90's the language itself takes much of its syntax from C and C + + but has a simpler object model and remove low-level tools, which often lead to many errors, such as direct manipulation of pointers or memory.
