How Does RAM Prices Are Genuinely Insane Work?

RAM prices are like getting a super-duper fast toy car that costs way more than your piggy bank has.

Imagine you have a toy box, that’s like RAM. Every time you want to play with a new toy, you need space in the box. If you have lots of toys (like running many games or apps at once), you need a bigger box. That's how computers work: they use RAM to hold things they’re currently using.

Now, think about the price of that toy box, that’s like RAM prices. A while ago, it was cheap to get a big toy box. But now? It feels like someone turned up the cost way too much! It's like your piggy bank only has 5 dollars, but the toy box costs 100!

It’s because making these fast toy boxes (or RAM) takes special materials and tricky steps. Like how you need special crayons to draw on a glittery paper, it's just harder to make.

Also, people want more of them at the same time, like everyone wanting the latest toy car. That makes the price go up even faster!
