So by your measurement a bacterial disease is software because you can
give it to someone else while still having it yourself. On the other hand,
a joke must be hardware because when you tell the joke to someone else
you aren't going to laugh like when someone tells it to you. Hmmm, a
secret doesn't classify at all by your system because once you tell the
secret to even one person, it isn't secret anymore...
