Hardware is physical, hard. Computer scientists chose the term, 'soft'ware, to mean the stuff that was not 'hard'ware.

Software is Programming, This is only some consist set of commands. we can't touch it. but Hardware can touch.
One software developed to another software.
But Hardware can not able.
For Example:-
Software two types
1. Language
2. Package
'C' Language is a Software, Windows Operating Systems develop from C language.

In computer terminology a thing which we can touch or feel is called hardware and the second wich we can only operate n use is called software. this thing is called software by its own.coz we can only work on it can't touch n feel it.
