Memory (RAM) Vs. Memory (HDD Space)

Asked by patg7590 (4608points) October 14th, 2009

As a computer technician, I deal with people daily who use the term “memory” to mean HDD space. To me, “memory” refers to RAM. I usually let it go.

Today in class my professor started talking about image quality/size and uses the term “memory” to mean HDD space. So I corrected him. I tried explaining it, but to him, computers are somewhat of a “black box”.

Am I the only one who thinks this way?
