Understanding Binary: The Language of Computers
This video explains why computers use binary (1s and 0s) and how it is a simple yet fascinating concept.
00:00:00 This video explains why computers use binary (1s and 0s) and how it is a simple yet fascinating concept. It also discusses other counting systems like tally marks and positional counting.
Binary is a system of counting that uses only ones and zeros.
Computers use binary as their language because of the simplicity and efficiency it provides.
Binary representation allows computers to process and store information using transistors.
00:01:04 Computers use 1s and 0s to represent data. Each digit in the binary system represents an increasing power of two. It's a more efficient way of counting compared to tally marks.
💡 Computers use 1s and 0s in binary code to represent information.
🔢 In the decimal system, each digit represents a power of ten, while in binary, each digit represents a power of two.
🔄 Binary is more efficient than tally marks because it exponentially increases the amount of information that can be represented.
00:02:08 This video explains why computers use 1s and 0s, known as binary, to represent information. It explores the efficiency of binary and the role of micro transistors in computer operations.
🔢 Binary is a more efficient system of counting that uses 1s and 0s.
💻 Computers use binary because of the physical limitation of micro transistors.
💡 Binary allows computers to represent numbers using on/off switches.
00:03:13 This video explains why computers use 1s and 0s, and how binary and transistors work. It also discusses ASCII and its role in representing data as letters.
💡 Computers use binary (1s and 0s) to represent numbers and data.
🔌 A single transistor is called a bit, and a byte consists of 8 bits.
🔡 ASCII is a system that assigns characters to binary values, allowing computers to represent letters and symbols.
00:04:17 This video explains why computers use 1s and 0s, and how transistors are involved. It also highlights the complexity of coding and the vast number of transistors used in everyday tasks.
Computers use binary code, specifically 1s and 0s, to represent information.
Binary is interpreted using transistors, which are tiny electronic components.
The combination of transistors in binary code allows for the representation of different symbols and characters.
00:05:18 Computers use binary code (1s and 0s) to represent information. Initially, 8-bit systems could only represent numbers up to 255. To increase the range, computers started using 16-bit systems, which allowed representation up to 65535.
⚡️ Computers use 1s and 0s in binary to represent numbers.
🔢 Adding four active bytes together gives a number as high as 1020.
🚀 New computers recognize two bytes as one number, expanding the representable numbers from 255 to 65535.
00:06:22 This video explains why computers use 1s and 0s and how they determine pixel colors and store data. The creator also mentions their plans for a different channel.
💻 Computers use binary numbers (1s and 0s) to make decisions, such as determining pixel colors on a monitor.
💾 Hard drives store binary digits on spinning disks instead of transistors.
🎮 The video creator plans to continue making comedic gaming-related content on a different channel to avoid confusing YouTube's search algorithm.
