Hardware is to a computer what the wheels are to a car, with out them they just cant work. Hardware is the means to the end on computers. The end being the end users purpose or problem being addressed. Software works on your computer because there is hardware inside it built to handle and manage the software.
Hardware spans from a vast variety of products such as RAM Memory, Storage Drives like hard drives or flash thumb drives, Graphic Processing units and much much more. Hardware allows our computers to push the software they are capable of running to extremes. Technology is growing at an exponential rate also which allows out software to do things we could not imagine prior. Just about 1 year ago 1 gigayte of DDR3 Ram memory cost roughly 100 bucks when today you can get about 16 for 80 dollars!
With technology growing so rapidly pretty soon we will be able to handle massive loads of information such as augmented reality and virtual reality programs. What will we live to see in our lifetime? I can only anxiously wait and see!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------personal computing is practically my specialty, I love dealing with hardware and know computers inside out. The muddiest topic for me though when it comes to personal computing is the manufacturing of the hardware. As good as i am with computers and how they work i actually don't have much of any idea of how there constructed. I am looking forward to learning how the hardware is built because i have plans for inventions that would need the construction of hardware inside and the more knowledgeable i am of them the better it will be for me when the time comes to invent my device. Software is very easy for me to adapt to but ultimately hardware is what i really want to master.
