memory cells

Memory cells are specialized components within electronic devices like computers and smartphones that store data temporarily or permanently. Think of them as tiny containers that hold information, such as words, images, or instructions, so the device can access and process it quickly. There are different types, like RAM (random access memory) for short-term storage, which is fast but temporary, and flash memory for long-term storage, which retains data even when powered off. These cells work together to ensure the device functions smoothly, allowing users to run applications, save files, and retrieve information efficiently.
