Explanation

• Memory (RAM): Temporary, volatile, fast access
• Storage (HDD/SSD): Permanent, non-volatile, slower than RAM
• Example Memory: RAM in computers (4GB, 8GB, 16GB)
• Example Storage: Hard disk, SSD (256GB, 512GB, 1TB)
• Purpose: Memory = active tasks, Storage = long-term data

Explanation

• Simplex — one-directional data flow from computer to printer only, with no data sent back.

Additional information 

• Half-duplex— data travels both ways, but only one direction at a time.
• Full-duplex— data travels both ways simultaneously.
• Multiplex— combining multiple signals into one channel, not directly relevant here
