serialization is STORING an object somewhere, and ability to RESTORE it later with all it's state information.For example, when you define class as Serializable you mean that it's objects can be : a) saved to (for example) HDD at any time b) loaded from (for example) HDD EXCEPT for class fields you declare with keyword 'transient'
