Explanation:

Hardware refers to the physical part of the computer system that can be seen, felt and touch. We have input hardware, processing hardware, output hardware, storage hardware and communication hardware.

Input Hardware: - This refers to the part of the computer that are use to send data into the computer.

Processing Hardware: There are responsible for co-ordinating and controlling the activities of the computer system.

Output Hardware: This refers to the part of the computer that sends signal and processed data out of the computer.

Storage Hardware: These are use for storing data and files.

Communication Hardware: This are devices that allow information to be sent from one person to another.
