Discover why computers exclusively use binary code, a fundamental concept in computer science. This video breaks down the physical reality of transistors and their two states, on and off, which directly map to binary's ones and zeros. Learn how this simple system provides immense reliability for billions of switches operating simultaneously, making it far more robust than attempting to represent decimal numbers with varying voltage levels. Explore how all forms of data, from text and images to music, are ultimately translated into binary for processing.
