The Hardware Behind the Scenes
Most everyone nowadays has a small computer. There’s hardly any tube monitors or even towers unless you’re a gamer or developer. But often there is still a lot of hardware to consider in our computer-driven world. In a digital world, the hardware is also important.
Even with my skinny little MacBook Air, I have computer cords, and I like connecting a second screen, which in my case is my TV. I also need my external hard drive and my USB sticks. Beyond that, I have my tablet phone and smartwatch. They all function together but they have very different hardware and casing. Even with my digital music collection, there’s either the stack of CDs that I downloaded to my computer or the hardware that was used to create the track. Even with virtual reality, the hardware determines how well that experience functions. Hardware is what allows the software world to work.
Hardware is what allows us to have the software, even digital platforms have to have physical storage somewhere.
