Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer system that you can touch and see. This includes input devices like keyboards and mice, output devices like monitors and printers, and storage devices like hard drives and USB sticks. Inside the computer, you'll find the motherboard, CPU (the brain of the computer), RAM (temporary memory), GPU (graphics processor), and the power supply. Networking hardware like routers and modems helps connect devices to the internet or each other. All these parts work together to run software and perform tasks.
