1. Hardware: the physical components of the technology - tangible
2. Software: set of instructions that tells the hardware what to do – intangible.
a. Operating-system software makes the hardware useable. (Microsoft
windows, Android)

licensing.
1. Benefits of open-source model:
The software is available for free.
The software source-code is available; it can be examined and reviewed before it is
installed.
The large community of programmers who work on open-source projects leads to
quick bug- fixing and feature additions.
2. Benefits of closed-source model:
By providing financial incentive for software development, some of the brightest
minds have chosen software development as a career.
Technical support from the company that developed the software.
