working of the hardware parts the way we want.

• The monitor is a hardware device , when we open a game on the computer we see it on the
monitor so its basically a display device that shows us what we are doing so that we can see. This
display of content in done by the software which displays text , images , videos. Therefore,
Hardware will not be able to function without the help of Software.
• Mobile is made of hardware and software but they are easier to carry around because of their
