Tuesday: Tour stop two: think and remember

Rocket points at the laptop. "Where does it think?"

Raven listens to the quiet hum. "What do you notice?"

Nova glows. "Hint: three parts. Think, hold, keep."

The processor thinks

The processor follows instructions.

It does one step at a time, very fast.

It cannot see or hear. It just follows steps.

Memory holds, storage keeps

Memory holds what you are working on right now.

When the power is off, memory lets go.

Storage keeps your saved files.

Storage remembers even with the power off.

That is why we save our work.
