    A human being has a memory i.e. Brain to store and remember his daily activities. Similarly a computer has a memory to store various forms of data and computer related processes. A computer memory is in the form of semiconductor chip or permanent hard drives which store data in the form of electronic bits. A computer memory has two types i.e. RAM (Randam Access Memory) and ROM (Read Only Memory). RAM is used for temporary storage and is a volatile memory i.e. The data is erased when computer is shut down whereas ROM is a non-volatile memory i.e. Data is not erased when power is plugged off. RAM and ROM are plugged into the mother board of the computer however there are other storage devices available in the market as well. Secondary storage devices such as magnetic tapes, magnetic disks, floppy disks, hard disk and flash drives are widely used to store greater amount of data.
