actually, we do not have to have partitions in a storage device. Partitions however do make it easier to organize some things.

By analogy, imagine a warehouse without partitions.

Hard drives in computers are often not partitioned, but partitioning can improve things.

For example you could keep all your games in one partition, or all your documents and word processors in another.

These then would be less likely to be trod upon when a new operating system is installed.
