- Data stored in memory may be accessed in two unique ways: sequentially or directly. What are the benefits of direct access, and why do today's most crucial technologies rely on it? How can information stored in a device that only allows for sequential access be converted so that it may be accessed by a device that only allows for direct access?arrow_forwardSince we already have RAM (Random Access Memory), which is a memory that operates based on transistors, there is no need for us to use cache memory. Do computers just use a single kind of memory to function?arrow_forwardIf random access memory (RAM) can serve as a volatile storage medium, then what need is there for cache memory, given that it, too, is built on transistors? Can one kind of computer memory be used for everything?arrow_forward
