Answer:

Software

Step-by-step explanation:

"If it malfunctions and I can throw it, then it's a hardware problem; if I have to yell at it because there is nothing to pick up, then it must be a software problem. "

This is a known sentence in IT environments, especially in initial courses, since it is given as an easy way to learn the difference between Hardware & Software concepts.

The hardware is all the physical and material components and devices that make up the computer. For example: the motherboard, the monitor ...

The software is the entire logical and intangible set of data, programs, instructions, computer rules and non-physical elements that are used to perform certain tasks and that are stored on a computer.

The interaction between the Software and the Hardware makes the machine operational, that is, the Software sends instructions to the Hardware making its operation possible.
