                    Identify the devices given below and tick ( ) if it is a storage device and cross ( ) if not.





















                    You have read about hardware devices in previous class. Recall that storage devices are
                    used to store data in them for future use.









                 In your previous classes, you have learnt multiplication tables, addition, subtraction, etc. It is
                 your memory that saves all the information for you in your brain and acts as a storage device.
                 Similarly, computers also have memory to store all the data and instructions for performing
                 various tasks and functions. Let us learn what memory is and its function.
