What is it about turning a device off then on again that allows it to work?

When it comes to computing devices it’s memory usage.
In order for your device to run things quickly, when you open new apps etc, they get loaded into memory for fast use. The more things opened means more memory taken. When the memory is full, the device slows down and can start throwing errors. Rebooting a device will clear the memory and start fresh.
As time has progressed we have been given the ability to fully close programs running in memory (or running in the background if you will). But to be fair, it’s easier to just tell you to turn it off and on again.
