What is RAM – ELI5

Imagine your computer is like a desk where you do your homework. RAM (Random Access Memory) is like the desk’s working space. It’s where your computer puts things it needs to use quickly, like papers and tools while you’re working.

The more RAM your computer has, means the bigger desk you have, the more things it can work on at the same time, making it faster and more efficient.

But remember, once you turn off your computer, everything in RAM goes away, just like clearing off your desk when you’re done with homework.
