What is the need of data structures?

Data
structures are used as a framework for organizing and storing information in virtual memory
forms. In computing, RAM and virtual memory, such as the Cloud or other shared storage systems,
store large quantities of data rapidly and efficiently. However, there is a twofold dilemma:
first, how can it be stored efficiently, and second, how will we be able to retrieve it over
time if its just stored away in cyberspace?

Data structures are the solution
to these dilemmas. Data structures organize and prioritize information into datasets and
databases that can be compressed efficiently to save storage space. These organizational
structures are also structured logically so that retrieving information from them is simple and
straightforward, making the data usable once more.
