What is the difference between short-term storage and long-term storage?

What will be an ideal response?


Data that is stored in short-term storage is erased when the computer is powered off. When the computer is turned back on, there is no trace of any previous data. The computer transfers programs and files into this short-term storage to make it readily available for the CPU. Long-term storage retains its data even when no power is applied to the computer. Long-term storage is where programs and files are stored.
