Test: How do digital devices store information? - Year 3 MCQ

While all files in a computer are ultimately stored in binary form, "binary file" is not a specific category of files like text, image, and audio files. These categories represent different types of content stored on digital devices.

RAM is used to store data temporarily for running programs and processes. The data in RAM is volatile, meaning it is lost when the device is turned off.

Files can be transferred between devices using physical storage devices like memory sticks (USB flash drives), which allow for copying and moving data easily between computers.

Storing data in the cloud enables users to access their files from anywhere in the world, provided they have an internet connection. This is a major advantage for flexibility and remote access.

The file name often includes an extension (like .txt, .jpg, .mp3) that indicates the type of file and which application should be used to open it.
