About this Quote

This quote by Craig Bruce is describing the importance of software and hardware in computing. Hardware is the physical components of a computer, such as the processor, memory, and storage. Software is the instructions that inform the hardware what to do. Hardware is what makes a computer system quickly, as it is responsible for the speed of the device. Software application, on the other hand, can decrease a computer system if it is not optimized or if it is running a lot of processes at the same time. This quote is stressing the importance of both software and hardware in computing, as hardware is responsible for the speed of the maker, while software application can slow it down if not optimized correctly. Therefore, it is important to ensure that both software and hardware depend on date and enhanced in order to get the very best performance out of a computer system.
