Describe temporary and permanent storage.

What will be an ideal response?


When you type program instructions, they are stored in computer memory, which is a computer's temporary, internal storage. Internal storage is volatile-its contents are lost when the computer is turned off or loses power. Usually, you want to be able to retrieve and perhaps modify the stored instructions later, so you also store them on a permanent storage device, such as a disk. Permanent storage devices are nonvolatile-that is, their contents are persistent and are retained even when power is lost.
