Internal Memory or RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of storage used in many technology devices, most know is the Computer's RAM.


It's used to access data in a random order in different places.
The more, and faster RAM the quicker it will find what the user ask for and the more amout of data it can handle at a time. It's used because a Hard Disk can only find data in a specific order since it have mechanical parts(exception is SSD).


When you boot up a program all it's data will transfer to the RAM so it can be accessed quickly. When you shut off the computer the RAM will empty itself.


Also for further research on how a computer use memory and data storage on running applications: "cache".
