Q: Changes in memory technologies are leading to innovative computer designs:

Price: New types of magnetic storage devices are available now which are cheaper and easier to produce than the more traditional solid state memory devices. Lower cost magnetic storage devices have improved the capacity of gadgets like MP3 players, hand-held game consoles and smartphones.

Even though the cost of computer hardware and processors has reduced significantly, the cost of RAM has stayed the same for the last 7 years.

A: False

Q: Changes in memory technologies are leading to innovative computer designs:

Capacity and density: You can now use a 64MB SD card in a digital camera where a couple of years ago a 4TB card needed to be used. Higher speed processors means computers can store even more bits without needing to increase the amount of storage available. You only have to look at mobile phones and tablets to see how the optical drives on them have become even smaller and lighter and yet can now store more music and video without needing to increase the amount of storage available on the device.
- True

A: False

Q: Changes in memory technologies are leading to innovative computer designs:

Speed: Although some new memory storage devices are still much slower than RAM they are significantly faster than the traditional hard disks. This means that bulky and sensitive hard disks can be replaced with smaller, lighter, faster and more reliable memory devices. Computers start up quicker as this is dependent on how long it takes to load the operating system into RAM. So now we have notebooks you can slip into a pocket, tablet PCs and smart-phones that behave like computers.
