Computers require instructions or programs from programmers to operate, used to be limited to scientists and engineers but are now accessible to everyone, operating through a combination of physical hardware and non-physical software that enhances and directs the computer's capabilities with both components reliant on each other.
Insights
- Computers need instructions or programs from programmers to function, with hardware being the physical components and software being the non-physical programs stored on devices like pen drives.
- The evolution of computers has made them accessible to a wider audience beyond scientists and engineers, emphasizing the interdependence between hardware and software for computer operation and task execution.

Computer: Hardware and Software Interaction Explained
- Computers are machines that require a set of instructions or programs created by programmers to perform specific tasks.
- In the past, computers were mainly used by scientists and engineers for complex calculations, but now they are accessible to almost everyone.
- Computers operate through the interaction of hardware and software, with hardware being the physical parts that can be seen and touched.
- Software, on the other hand, consists of instructions or programs that are not physical but stored on mediums like pen drives or hard disks.
- Software enhances the capabilities of hardware and directs the computer to perform specific tasks based on the instructions provided.
- Hardware and software are interdependent, with hardware needing software to operate and software requiring hardware for utilization.
