Because it consists of other major components as well:
1) Equipment- Hardware and software
2) People- technicians,network manager, system analysts etc.

6) communication network
A: People, Procedures, Hardware & Software
A complete computer system consists of hardware and software. Hardware comprises input, output, processor and storage while software encompasses system and application software.
No, hardware does not consist of a series of instructions. Software is what consists of a series of instructions that tells the computer how and what to do. Examples of hardware includes plugs, cables, fans, circuit boards, and drive units.
An information system typically consists of hardware (computers, servers), software (applications, databases), data (information stored in databases), procedures (rules for handling data), and people (users, administrators). These elements work together to collect, process, store, and distribute information within an organization.

Finding information on home hardware can be a daunting task. You should check with you local hardware retailers and see if they can provide you with information.
The information system (IS) consists of five parts: 1. Hardware (Equipment that processes the data to create information) 2. Software (Step-by-step instructions that convert data into information) 3. Data (unprocessed facts) 4. Procedures (Rules or guidelines to follow when using Hardware and software 5. People (End user who is the most important part of IS)

the answer is simply a computer system :)
give me two examples of hardware
An information system typically consists of four main components: hardware, software, data, and people. Hardware refers to physical devices such as computers and servers. Software includes applications and programs that provide functionality. Data refers to information stored and processed within the system. People are the users who interact with the system to input, process, and retrieve information. These components work together to collect, process, store, and distribute information within an organization.
