Where Work is Stored
Thinking It Through · systems — how storage keeps your files safe for later, and why saving matters

Kavi's Drawing Comes Back
Kavi drew a bright rocket on the tablet, then tapped the little Save button — bloop! "Where did my rocket go?" Kavi wondered. "Into storage," said Grandma Owl. "Storage is a safe place inside the device that keeps your files for later." That night Kavi turned the tablet right off. In the morning Kavi tapped the drawing open — and there was the rocket, exactly as before! "Storage kept it while I slept!" Kavi cheered. Storage holds your saved files so they are still there later — even after the device is turned off. But work you never save is not in storage, so it can be lost.
