My uncle asked me how one plus one makes one zero.
I didn’t get it just initially, I then thought of binary numbers. Only possible solution to prove this problem!
Now I learnt that binary is also the computers internal language! How cool! It’s also called base2.
Now I can tell that I can make ones and zeros more meaningful. Most cool thing is that it only has ones and zeroes. Plus all numbers are a combination of these two simple and basic numbers! Better yet it sounds like possible bond code like 001 lol!
Rest of my thoughts in next post like how to convert from decimal to binary and vice versa!

That’s right. Well done. Computers use bits – switches implemented through transistors for storage and computation. All information is stored as the state of these switches – closed or open for zero or one. Every single computation or memory, including images and videos, is the state of a transistor switch. Images and videos are all zeros and ones too. Imagine that.
Here’s more unit conversion fun: eight of these bits make a byte. 1000 bytes is a kilobyte (another binary definition exists where 1024 =2 power 10 = kilobyte) or KB. Similarly 1000 MB is a Gigabyte (GB), a 1000 GB is a terabyte (TB), and so on…
Cool good fun need to explore these further mama !
