What is the difference between memory and storage?
Your computer has two places it keeps information, and they work completely differently — even though people mix them up all the time. One is like your brain when you're juggling three thoughts at once. The other is like a notebook you can close and put on a shelf.
Memory is your computer's thinking space. It's called RAM — random access memory — and it's where your computer does all its active work. When you open a photo, type a document, or play a game, all that action happens in RAM. It's fast, electric, and always buzzing.
