I am also responsible for making sure that information is stored correctly. You tell me where to store (save) the information you are working on and I do that. I handle the placement of information for reuse at a later time. I also will translate information from digital signal to analog signals so you are able to send and read e-mails. I can be a modem, or a floppy disk among other devices like me. What kind of a device am I?
