Computers are given instructions electronically in the form of programs that send, receive, and interpret streams of on/off signals (data). The arrangement of the signals has meaning according to the programs. It's not exactly like Morse Code, but if you can understand the idea of sending and interpreting long and short beeps or pulses as letters that spell words, you have the general idea.

Some signals make up programs that tell the computer what to do with data, and some signals are the data.

Also imagine using the signals to send messages in different languages. That is, you could use Morse code to send messages in English and also in French. Even if you can read the letters of the code, you still have to know the language or you won't get the message. Different programs are sort of like that. The right stuff has to go into the right program in order for it to make sense.
