Hardware: the electronic and mechanical components you can see and touch. Software: the set of instructions that direct the hardware. Network technology: increases the power of it by allowing the sharing of resources, including hardware, software, and information. Processing: directs execution of instructions and the transformation of data transistors (electronic switches 0 or 1)
