Memory

The aspect of conscious beings that serves as a repository of sensory impressions. In computing devices, memory refers to the hardware that stores information, of which there are two kinds--read only memory (ROM) and random access memory (RAM). These are loosely analogous to two kinds of human memory--long term and short term.
