Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RAM (Random Access Memory) is considered volatile memory because it is designed to only hold data temporarily while the computer is on. This means that when the computer is turned off or restarted, any data stored in RAM is lost. Permanent and semipermanent memory are not typically used to refer to RAM, as they imply a longer-lasting storage capability than RAM provides.
