Both !... The game program is software - but the cartridge on which the game is written is hardware.

Software are programs installed on the computer that alter the way it works or adds on new features, as opposed to hardware, which are objects that interact with the computer, such as external drives and video cards.
All software is written. Hardware is the bits of your computer which are fixed, such as the keyboard, monitor, and so on. Software refers to the programs that are written to instruct it all how to work.
Severely, severely, severely oversimplifying it... The hardware does the actual work, consuming power as it does it. The software tells the hardware what work to do, when to do it, and in what order it should be done.
it depends on the software written for the computer its the software that controls the outcome the hardware just processes it
hey, As the hardware is only the component but the microcontroller or microprocessor built with in works as an heart of the circuit. it contains the program written in high level languages which are compiled or assembelled to work as an machine language.
There is a big difference. A software engineer will deal only with the machine language withing a computer network. Networkingengineer is an HARDWARE engineer he will apply the software written language to make sure that the network hardware can follow the written machine language

Operating System is a system software which allow us to have a direct interface with the hardware without knowing the complexity involved in the background. In simply words, it puts use of computer hardware. To the point of definition, a software allowing you to mobile hardware installed in your phone is also a operating system.
A modem is a piece of hardware. Mechanically installed in a computer to communicate with the internet or other computers. Software is a written program to operate within a computer.
