Serializable
Each time an object
is created in Java it goes into an area in memory called the heap.
Objects on the heap
have state - the value of the object's instance variables.
These values make one
instance of a class different from another instance of the same
class.
Serialized objects
save the values of the instance variables, so that an identical instance
(object) can be brought back to life on the heap.
