Clipboard
When a text or graphic is cut or copied, it is stored in the clipboard, a temporary storage area in the computer's memory. It remains in the clipboard until it is pasted into a new location.
RAM (Random Accessed Memory) is "temporary" storage. It is temporary because the type we use in desktops PC's is called, volatile. This means, when power is lost, so is all data stored in memory.

A byte's temporary storage location in memory is RAM. The process of translating instructions into signals the computer can execute is a tower.

Computers write information /data onto some kind of memory device of the which there is a great variety. There are devices for temporary storage and long-term storage.
Programmers often think of a computer as having only one temporary storage area, the random access memory (RAM). People using a computer often use a temporary storage location called the "clipboard". See "The what is a temporary holding area in your PC's memory that holds information you want to cut or move from its current location?" for details. The people who write operating systems and the computer architects that design computer systems and CPUs often use many different temporary storage areas, each one with a different name. Many of these temporary storage areas are stored in chips of silicon -- see the "What is temporary storage on chips called?" for details. Other temporary storage areas are stored on the hard drive -- such as the web page cache, the hibernation file, and the virtual memory swap file.
Temporary storage is usually referring to RAM -- Random Access Memory. Data stored in RAM only exists while the computer has power (nothing is saved).
Permanent storage on a hard drive Temporary storage on ram memory.
Primary Device for storing information on the computer would be a hard drive. Temporary Storage would be RAM (Random Access Memory)
They are copied to the 'clip board'. This is just a software name, for a portion of the memory reserved for temporary storage. It is volatile and will be lost when the computer is shut down.
