Dear,

Computer hardware is the physical part of a computer, including the digital circuitry, as distinguished from the computer software that executes within the hardware. The hardware of a computer is infrequently changed, in comparison with software and data, which are "soft" in the sense that they are readily created, modified or erased on the computer. Firmware is a special type of software that rarely, if ever, needs to be changed and so is stored on hardware devices such as read-only memory (ROM) where it is not readily changed (and is therefore "firm" rather than just "soft").

Computer networking is the scientific and engineering discipline concerned with communication between computer systems. Such networks involve at least two devices capable of being networked with at least one usually being a computer. The devices can be separated by a few meters (e.g. via Bluetooth) or thousands of kilometers (e.g. via the Internet). Computer networking is sometimes considered a sub-discipline of telecommunications.

Hardware is the general term that is used to describe physical artifacts of a technology.

It can be equipment such as fasteners, keys, locks, hinges, latches, corners, handles, wire, chains, plumbing supplies, tools, utensils, cutlery and machine parts, especially when they are made of metal. In the United States, hardware has been traditionally sold in hardware stores.

Though often used interchangeably to mean "hand tools," hardware historically referred to the metal bits that were used to make wooden products stronger, more functional, longer lasting and easier to fabricate/assemble than if they did not have the benefit of metal fittings.

In a looser sense, hardware can be major military equipment, or electronic equipment, or computer equipment.

In slang, the term refers to trophies and other physical representations of awards.


A business network can be defined as a group of people that have some kind of commercial relationship. It could be a boss-employee, buyer-supplier, colleague-colleague, etc.

In business, entrepreneurial networks are social organizations offering different types of resources to start or improve entrepreneurial projects. Having adequate human resources is a key factor for entrepreneurial achievements. Combined with leadership, the entrepreneurial network is an indispensable kind of social network not only necessary to properly run the business or project, but also to differentiate the business from similar projects.

A social network is a social structure made of nodes which are generally individuals or organizations. It indicates the ways in which they are connected through various social familiarities ranging from casual acquaintance to close familial bonds. The term was first coined in 1954 by J. A. Barnes (in: Class and Committees in a Norwegian Island Parish, "Human Relations"). The maximum size of social networks tends to be around 150 people (Dunbar's number) and the average size around 124 (Hill and Dunbar, 2002). There is also a resurgence of interest in socio-technical networks, where the nodes include a mix of individuals, organizations, and various forms of machine intelligence such as data-fusion/data-filtering points acting upon subject-matter-expert provided rules. In fact, much of modern social network theory development includes consideration of such socio-technical [e.g., http://www.amber-light.co.uk/resources/primer_sociotech.shtml] and cognitive engineering [1]perspectives, each of which can help provide a more quantitative basis for predictive and descriptive models. A military example would be a combat team operating a group of robots; the socio-technical network includes the people, the mobile robots, the on-board sensors which collect and selectively filter, fuse, and relay information from the sensed environment among the unit-network (de Pontbriand, 2003).

In the United Kingdom, an old boy network or society can refer to social and business associations among former pupils of top male-only public schools (independent secondary schools) and, to a lesser degree, to university students (notably Oxbridge), and indirectly to preservation of social elites over time without regard to merit.

However, literal 'Old Boy Networks' may not necessarily have the same connotations. Many male-only Schools, both public- and state- run, have 'Old Boy Societies', with a sole aim to maintain an Old Boy's association with their school. This form of Old Boy Network is similar to an Alumni association.

A sexual network is a social network that is defined by the sexual relationships within a set of individuals.
