Hardware is the actual physical components. Software uses data to command the hardware to act and make it function based on data input by the user.
The hardware is the thing which we can see, feel and software is the thing which operates hardware as per user requirewmant. Hardware physical things, software is program which handle hardware.

It failed - due to a discrepancy in the positional calculations, caused by a piece of faulty computer software.
Once the operating system has started up, it manages all of the software and hardware on the computer. Most of the time, there are many different programs running at the same time, and they all need to access your computer's Central Processing Unit (CPU), memory, and storage. The operating system coordinates all of this to make sure that each program gets what it needs. Without the operating system, the software wouldn't even be able to talk to the hardware, and the computer would be useless.

One reason that interaction with hardware is limited is the need to protect the software that actually controls the computer. The Operating System is the most important of this software.

software is the mind that tells the mechanical parts which are the hardware on how to proceed and perform.
They describe the physical brain as the computer's hardware, and cognition as its software.
A System is a collection of software and hardware and how they work together: software, hardware, and interaction among them. Some would modify the above as a collection of "things" and/or persons and the collaboration among them. A PC can be a system, a software component (not necessary a program) can be a system itself, or a cluster of servers, with all the software installed and communicate to each other via HTTP or ethernet with fail over and fault-tolerance...

A scanner is both hardware and software, the device itself is hardware (all devices are hardware) but the driver(a program) that runs it is software.
