The clipboard is a data buffer used for short-term data storage and/or data transfer between documents or applications used by cut, copy and paste operations and provided by the operating system. It is usually implemented as an anonymous, temporary data buffer, sometimes called the paste buffer, that can be accessed from most or all programs within the environment via defined programming interfaces. A typical application accesses clipboard functionality by mapping user input (keybindings, menu selections, etc.) to these interfaces. The semantics of the clipboard facility varies from one operating system to another, and can also vary between versions of the same system. They can sometimes be changed by different programs or by user preference.
When an element is copied or cut the clipboard holds every available format of it, since at this point it is not known, which format is needed when the content is pasted. The core functionality of the clipboard provided by the operating system can be extended by applications and clipboard managers.
Windows, Linux and Mac-OS support a single clipboard transaction.[1] Each cut or copy overwrites the previous contents. Normally, paste operations copy the contents, leaving the contents available in the clipboard for further pasting operations. Clipboard data is stored in the RAM.[2]
Drag and drop enables users to drag and drop information from one control to another similar to the functionality of cut, copy and paste from the users view, but it doesn't affect the clipboard.[3]

We use computer or mobile phones and of course, we have used at least the copy, cut and paste features of these gadgets.
Clipboard is defined as the temporary location in the memory of the computer i.e. the RAM ( Random Access Memory ) which is more frequently used for copying, moving, and pasting a piece of text as in the case of a Word Processor or a file( including any type of file ) .
It is temporary location for storage of data and hence each and everything is erased as soon as another file is copied or cut, or the computer shuts down, sleeps, etc.
