True or False: The term "random access" means all storage locations are equally accessible and sequential access is not necessary.

The statement is true because "random access" refers to a type of data access where any storage location can be accessed directly and with equal ease, rather than in a fixed sequence. In random access memory (RAM), for example, each byte of memory can be read or written independently and quickly, meaning that the time it takes to access any particular location is the same regardless of its position in the memory.

This contrasts with sequential access storage, where data must be read in order, and accessing a specific piece of information may require reading through all the preceding data first. Therefore, the nature of random access allows for a more efficient and flexible way of handling data, making it possible to retrieve and manipulate information without needing to follow a predetermined order.
