So What Even Is RAM?

Wikipedia [Random-access memory]

Random-access memory (RAM; /ræm/) is a form of electronic computer memory that can be read and changed in any order, typically used to store working data and machine code. A random-access memory device allows data items to be read or written in almost the same amount of time irrespective of the physical location of data inside the memory, in contrast with other direct-access data storage media (such as hard disks and magnetic tape), where the time required to read and write data items varies significantly depending on their physical locations on the recording medium, due to mechanical limitations such as media rotation speeds and arm movement.

Ok Cool, What Does That Mean?

If a CPU is the Brain, RAM could be thought of as the short term memory. It's where the computer puts things it knows it will need to have on hand and needs to be able to quickly retreive!
