digital memory

Digital memory is a system that stores information electronically, using tiny units called bits, which represent either a 0 or a 1. These bits are combined into larger groups like bytes to store words, images, or other data. Think of digital memory as a vast, organized system of switches that keep track of information in a way that computers can quickly read and write. It includes devices like RAM (short-term memory for active tasks) and storage drives (long-term data retention). Overall, digital memory enables computers to efficiently save, access, and process information needed for operation.
