Anything you save to your computer, such as a picture or video, is sent to your hard drive for storage.                      Examples:RAM & ROM, RAM is for Random Access Memory that is a volatile memory that stores information on an circuit used by the operating system, software, and hardware and is a memory that loses its contents when the computer or hardware device loses power.ROM is for Read-only Memory, that is non-volatile memory and is used in computers to save the things you are doing while you are using another system, it is not lost when the computer is turned off. a01194983 https://padlet.com/a01720269/b2j4lcm160hl/wish/118187294 2016-08-13 22:11:50 UTC https://padlet.com/a01720269/b2j4lcm160hl/wish/118187294 a01194983 https://padlet.com/a01720269/b2j4lcm160hl/wish/118187316 2016-08-13 22:13:35 UTC https://padlet.com/a01720269/b2j4lcm160hl/wish/118187316 a01194983 https://padlet.com/a01720269/b2j4lcm160hl/wish/118187318 2016-08-13 22:13:41 UTC https://padlet.com/a01720269/b2j4lcm160hl/wish/118187318 a01194983 https://padlet.com/a01720269/b2j4lcm160hl/wish/118187460 2016-08-13 22:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/a01720269/b2j4lcm160hl/wish/118187460
