Relationship Between Hardware, Software, Synchronous and Asynchronous Tools. Hardware provides the physical devices needed to access digital tools, while software enables these devices to perform useful functions. Synchronous and asynchronous tools rely on both hardware and software to facilitate communication, collaboration, and information sharing. For example, a laptop (hardware) running Zoom (software) enables synchronous communication, while the same laptop running Gmail allows asynchronous communication. What is Hardware? Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer system that can be seen and touched.                     Examples of Hardware * Keyboard.                                             *Mouse. * Monitor. * Printer. * Scanner. * Central Processing Unit (CPU). * Hard Disk Drive (HDD). * Speakers.
