Question

Jeremy is typing a term paper on his computer and saves it every five minutes or so for good measure. which of the following best illustrates the computer’s encoding system with regard to this file?

Answer 1

When Jeremy works on the paper, it is being stored in RAM (Random access memory). When he saves it, the data is moved to ROM (Read only memory). Ram can be thought of as a desktop where your data is temporarily stored while you work on it. RAM gets erased when you restart your computer. ROM is where all the permanent data is held and survives reboots.
