BBA-206 Unit-2 Fundamentals of Computer
Relationship Between Computer Hardware and Software
  • Both the Hardware and software are mutually dependent on each other. Each should function properly so that the computer produces an output.
  • Software utilization can not be done without supporting of the hardware.
  • Relevant software should be loaded into the hardware to get the latest software.
  • Hardware is a one-time expense while software is not.
  • Software development is very expensive while hardware cant be developed if in use once.
  • Many software applications and their sub-applications can be loaded on hardware to run different jobs.
  • The software acts as an interface between the user and the hardware.
