What is a computer? What is the difference between software and hardware? What is a hard drive? What is an application?

What is a computer? A computer is a programmable machine that receives input, stores and manipulates data, and provides output in a useful format.


What is the difference between software and hardware? Difference between hardware and software is that hardware is a physical device something that you're able to touch and see. Software is code and instructions that tell a computer and/or hardware how to operate.


 What is a hard drive? The harddrive is where all of your programs and files are stored, so if the drive is damaged for some reason, you will lose everything on your computer.


What is an application? Application software, also known as an application or an "app", is computer software designed to help the user to perform singular or multiple related specific tasks.
