Shadow memory
Okay kiddo, so what happens when you play with your toys? You use your hands to move them around, right? Now, think about a computer using its virtual hands to run programs and do stuff.
When a program runs on a computer, it stores information in the computer's memory. But sometimes, bad things can happen to the memory, like a computer virus or a program that tries to change the wrong part of the memory.
That's where shadow memory comes in, like a secret spy watching over the computer's memory. It's an extra copy of the computer's memory that's hidden away, so if something goes wrong with the regular memory, the computer can use the shadow memory to fix things up.
It's like having a spare set of toys in case some of them break or get lost. With shadow memory, the computer has an extra set of information just in case something bad happens to the regular memory. Cool, huh?
