RAM is your active mind. It's where your thoughts go, it's got limited space, but if you can remember something off the top of your head it's easier than looking it up and a heck of a lot easier to manipulate than writing down, erasing, writing down, erasing . Hard Drive is like a file cabinet. You can store everything there, and read it to put it into your memory. It takes a while, but you can store a lot more information in there in a lot more detail than you can in your mind.
