hardware is a physical device something that you're able to touch and see. For example, the computer monitor you're viewing this text on or the mouse you're using to navigate is considered computer hardware.
Software is code and instructions that tell a computer and/or hardware how to operate. This code can be viewed and executed using a computer or other hardware device.

Software advances are driving hardware sales, larger and larger applications demand faster more powerful hardware. However software or hardware is not the issue. Work for a company with a good product and get in to Presales or sales. If you work for Cisco you can make good money form hardware if you work for Microsoft you can make good money from software. work for the right company that is what makes the difference. hope this helps

Hi there
Computer software are programs contained on a CD, floppy disk or downloaded and that run on your computer. An example of this is microsoft windows xp and microsoft office. These programs are contained on a CD and are installed on the computer for use.
Your screen, keyboard and other physical parts contained inside your computer are hardware. Software is needed to make hardware devices work. For example, Windows XP makes hardware devices work. Hardware is required for using the internet. A modem for dialling up your internet soervice provider or for connection to a your broadband if you have broadband. There are many other hardware devices inside your computer which have various uses, for storing and retrieving data for example and playing music CDs.
Hope this helps.
