2. Define the following terms

Hardware

Hardware is any physical portion of a computing device.

Software

Software is a term describing a set of instructions that control the operation of a computer. Software can be easily changed and updated. Once it has been created, it can be reproduced very cheaply. This is because software is not something that can be touched or held in a person's hand. The media on which the software is written can be touched, but the media does not generally look any different after the software is written to it. Software can be stored on many types of media, and can in fact be distributed without the use of a storage medium (other than its final storage destination on a computer's hard drive).
