Memory is a major part of computers, as with humans too ; ) Without memory where would we store extra data and where does it go when we store it? Memory is stored in 3 category of items. The byte is the basic storage unit. The byte are what trans mitts the memory from other storage devices and the data is what exists as "byte".
Memory size will determine the number of bytes, as mentioned above, how much available storage can be held. The terms are very obvious abbervations such as Kilobye is equal to a thousand bytes holding about 1/2 pgs if text , Megebyte is equal to about one million bytes holding about 500 pgs of text, Gigabyte 1 billion holding 500,000 pgs of text and lastly Terabyte 1 trillion holding 5000,000,000. There are many types of memory, some being volatile memory meaning its loses its data when computer is turned off and Nonvolatile memory being there permenat even when computer is off. There are also many types of removable memory devices for example, flash memory cards, usb, pc cards and express card modules.
