What can binary do?
Binary is a system of numbers that a computer uses to record data. It is simpler than decimal as its only characters are 0 and 1 while decimal has 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and 9. A computer can more easily record "on off" or 10 than it can 2. in the same way it can more easily record 11 than 3, 100 than 4 101 than 5 110 than 6 etc. So basically, Binary is just a simpler way of recording the same numbers as decimal, and is much easier for computers to use to store data than decimal as they can just store their bytes as packets of on off on off and that converts on the screen to numbers letters and pixels. oh and your mouse is dependent on binary too.
