VOLATILE

=VOLATILE= Author: Shannon Robinson

Volatile Memory is memory that does not continue what it is currently doing once the electrical energy is removed. {This is a good definition. However, I am not sure that I understand the usage of the word 'state' in defining Volatile memory}. RAM(random access memory), DRAM (dynamic random access memory) , and SRAM (static random access memory) are some common uses of volatile memory .{This last sentence is a lot like the one found on the Wikipedia page, Please paraphrase it/ write it in your own words to avoid plagiarism}. For example, when working on a Microsoft Word document, the document is loaded into RAM (volatile memory) and a typical operating system like Windows or Mac OS 10. The changes you make are done in RAM, but they are also saved into the hard drive in the background. When you shut down the program and open it again to access the document, it is taken from the memory. This is much faster then retrieving it from the hard drive. Speed is the main reason for all of this, it takes a lot of time to reload something from the hard drive. {Good example of the usage}.

Comments - Good example of the usage - Good choice of a picture - Reconsider revising the definition of Volatile - Plagiarism is hard to avoid, but do your best to put that sentence in your own words. - For future reference: Wikipedia is a great source for information, but try to diversify your sources and do not restrict yourself only to one source!

Hey Shannon, - As I have said before, and you are not the one to blame, Plagiarism is hard to avoid, and it is understood that in the process of writing this short article you may have plagiarized a little without noticing. - If your father is a professional and has broad knowledge of this topic I don't see why you should cite him as one of your sources of information (

Good work.!
