Computer Hardware is the combination of physical components or parts that make the computer system. Physical components include monitor, keyboard, mouse, hard disk drive, graphic card, RAM, motherboard, etc. Networking is the field of computer science that allows computers to exchange data or information. Data can be exchanged either using cable media or wireless media. The network devices are Router, Switch, Modem, Hub and Data card (Dongle).
