Hardware is a general term that refers to the physical artifacts of a technology. It may also mean the physical components of a computer system, in the form of computer hardware.

Hardware historically meant the metal parts and fittings that were used to make wooden products stronger, more functional, longer lasting and easier to fabricate or assemble.

Modern hardware stores typically sell equipment such as keys, locks, hinges, latches, corners, handles, wire, chains, plumbing supplies, tools, utensils, cutlery and machine parts, especially when they are made of metal.

In a more colloquial sense, hardware can refer to military equipment, such as tanks, aircraft, ships or munitions. In the case of vehicles, such may instead be referred to as armour.

In slang, the term can also refer to trophies and other physical representations of awards.

What computer hardware is illegal to own?
Q. I just barely learned from a computer wiz from my oop class that the government prevents sale of certain hardware that is impossible for them to decode. Anyone here a computer wiz at this as well?

A. Mostly it's a matter of what you're using it for. I don't believe there is any computer hardware which is "illegal" in itself. This doesn't include anything homemade specifically to commit illegal acts. Say you get a top-of-the-line color printer. That's not illegal. Now you print out money with it. That's illegal, especially if you print it out so well that it looks pretty darn close to real money. Just keep to the legal stuff and you'll have nothing to worry about. Or don't get caught. Up to you. Hope this helps! Peace to you and yours, Matthew "Dra'Gon" Stohler
