Informant Data:

CJ was born on December 28, 1976 in Bharuch, India. After completing her undergraduate education at Narmada College in India, she got married and gave birth to a baby daughter. After her daughter turned one year old, she and her husband moved to the States in 2000. After her son was born in 2004, she began taking classes in web design at Nashua Community College and UMASS Lowell, two local colleges. After switching between several different jobs, all in computer science, she has now been working at CAMP Systems, an aircraft management company, as a UX/UI Web Designer for 8 years now.

Contextual Data:

Cultural Context: CAMP Systems is an aircraft management company that works to provide solutions for customers and clients in improving aircraft quality, compliance with regulations, and aircraft maintenance. It is headquartered in Nashua, NH, which is where CJ lives. CJ has specifically been involved in the web design aspect of the job, improving the user experience and the user interface of those who visit the website for personal and professional use.

Social Context: This joke is often used whenever something that was just said needs to be remembered, or will need to be recalled again soon after being stated. It is transmitted in an effort to emphasize that it is very important that the preceding information not be forgotten.

Item: 

“Be sure to store it in your RAM.”

Collector’s Notes: 

RAM stands for “Random Access Memory,” which means memory that can be accessed by a user at any time. Similarly, if somebody is asked to store something in RAM, then it means that they should be able to access it again at any time if asked, which means that they should not forget it because they will need it again in the near future.
