Concept Map

Organise the vocabulary, quantities and relationships into a connected model.

This extension applies that lens specifically to Hardware and Software.

Hardware and Software

Hardware is physical equipment; software is stored instruction and data. System software manages resources, while applications support user tasks.

Core checkpoint: A device needs both physical components and instructions to be useful.
