Sometimes called functional working memory. Space used while the device is functioning

Think of it as the memory that is available while the device is on, but goes away when it is off. The more RAM you have, the quicker the device can shuffle tasks, deal with installation of apps, downloads, etc. The main memory that saves your music, notes, etc., is Flash memory that is there all the time and doesn't depend on the device being on.

As you start to do more and more things, or if the thing you're doing is very complex you'll find that things in the background stop working and or your device starts to slow down. Think of it in the same way you would do the size of your desk: a big desk will let you work on lots of things at once or a few more complex tasks, a smaller one obviously allowing you to do less. Eventually, if you try to do too many things at once or the thing you're working on is really complicated, you'll find that you don't have enough space on your desk so might have to start using a filing cabinet as extra storage. It's not that you're not able to complete the task it's just that it's going to take you longer to do it than it would do if you'd purchased a larger desk. Cheers, Ben.
