Terms that are often used when people talk about computers are hardware, software and peripherals.

The computer hardware can best be described as actual parts that go together to make up the computer such as wires, switches, electronic circuits, microprocessors and anything else that is involved in the working parts.

Software refers to the programs that are input into the computer. Disks and cassettes are often referred to as a software once they have computer programs on them but they are really peripherals.

The peripherals of the computer are the devices for input, output or storage of data and include the keyboard, visual display unit (VDU), cassettes, disk drives and printers. The VDU is also known as the monitor and the program and the results of the processing can be seen on this, as well as data entered. The printer will produce the print-out of the results of the processing. This is often referred to as hard copy.
