What is memory and what are some types of memory in a computer?
Memory is how the computer stores the data, like say that mp3 you are listing to. There are two types of memory: Volatile and non-volatile. Volatile memory is usually faster, but once power is removed, all the data is gone. Non-volatile memory is slower, but it doesn't lose the data when power is cut. RAM is an example of volatile memory. It is quick so the computer can access data fast, but when the power is shut off, it gets reset. A hard drive is an example of non-volatile memory. When power is removed, it still retains that end of year term paper you need, but it is slower and unsuitable for holding variables that the computer needs to access quickly.
