From a technical standpoint of view, computer memory stores multiple bits of information. Each bit is an atomic boolean entity (it can be in one of two states, True or False, 0 or 1, etc). Computer memory typically stores large numbers of bits, commonly but not necessarily arranged in groups of bits. Eith bits (an octet) are commonly known as a byte, but other grouping, typically in powers of two, is common.

Semantically, computer memory can store anything for which there is a digital description. It can store numbers, or the works of Shakespeare, or you digital holiday photos. It cannot store items such as a perfume, or a smell (such as the perfume's frangrance), but it can store the perfume's recipie along with a chemical formula for the fragrance's aromatics.
