Why Computer Systems use the BInary Numbering System!

Binary is a two state numbering system (1 and 0) Computer Systems are two state machines (ON and OFF) They are both two state and 1 can represent ON and 0 can represent OFF Advantages of using Binary Less rules of addition Easy to store two states in backing storage instead of ten The storage is not affected by voltage degredation over time Disadvantages harder to understand, easier to make mistakes
