• Today, technology is amazing. And so are
  computers. Laptops, or wireless computers, have
  the capability of downloading pictures from
  cameras. RAM, or Random-access Memory, is in the
  form of small microchips that stores data. RAM
  also stores data that is to be accessed at any
  order-------Well, which is random.

• One day, a boy who lived in microchip town named
  Jay, got a job at a summer school. He was very
  excited. He told all of his friends named Joey,
  Grant, and Billy bob.
• You got a job at a summer school?, Billybob
  asked.
• Yeah, I start when school ends. Jay replied.
• Jay and his friends were in 5th grade. Their
  school ended June 12th.

• When Jay and his friends came home from school,
  they turned on the television.
• Ill go get some snacks, said Jay.
• Okay!, the friends replied in unison.
• While Jay was getting the food, Billybob turned
  on the sports channel.
• Cool, the Yankees are on! said Grant.
• Ill go get my foam finger and soda hat, Joey
  said in an exciting manner.

• WHAT!!!!!!!????????, screamed Grant.
• Whats wrong? asked Jay.
• Something shut down the main Micro plant, and
  that means no power!
• There goes video games for a long time,
  Billybob said in a depressed tone.
• Ugh, I ride my skateboard 5 miles to watch the
  Yanks and all I get is no power? Man, thats
  just sad, whined Joey.
• After some board games and snacks, everyone went
  home. Jay ate dinner with his mom and dad, then
  went to bed. He thought about what would happen
  with no power. It never happened in the history
  of Microchip Town, and he just hoped that the
  town could survive

6

• 2 DAYS LATER
• People were coming down with some disease caused
  by radiation coming from the RAM factory.
  Doctors thought that the radiation only spreads
  when the RAM factory isnt supplied with power.
• At school, Jay was talking to his friends about
  what they were going to do.
• Lets sneak in and find out whats going on,
  Joey suggested.
• Everyone agreed. They decided to sneak in the
  factory and find out what shut down the power.
  But for some reason, Jay had a very bad feeling
  about going to the factory, but he was afraid to
  tell his friends

7

• That night, Jay, Joey, Grant, and Billybob snuck
  into the factory. They were all armed with
  things that could get past the infrared security
  lasers.
• EWWWWWW! What is that stench?? complained Jay.
• I think its the RAM cells breaking down. I
  read that sometimes the smell can get really
  bad, confirmed Joey.
• The boys went to the control center. There was a
  big switch with a sign that said off. Jay
  tried to tug the switch to turn it on, but it was
  extremely hard and couldnt do it alone. Jay
  asked his friends to help him.

8

• They all tugged and the switch turned on. The
  factory was up and running. Jay and his friends
  worked all night and replaced the dead
  Random-Access Memory cells with new ones. They
  woke up next morning to find themselves very,
  very surprised

9

• Jay, Joey, Grant, and BillyBob woke up to find
  themselves in a ring of people. They heard
  clapping and cheering. Microchip Town was
  celebrating their accomplishment! The four boys
  each made a speech about there adventure, and
  then went home.

• So class, thats why we should never, ever shut
  down the factory, or all of its memory will be
  erased. Explained Jay. He was teaching in
  summer school. Okay class, you can leave now.
  Jay walked out of the school, to find his friends
  holding him a small cupcake. We just wanted to
  say that you did a great job for your first day
  of teaching about RAM technology. Said Grant.
  Thanks a lot you guys, I just wouldnt know what
  I would do without you.
