Historical Context
Binary number systems date back centuries, but their modern computational importance emerged in the 17th century when Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz formalized binary arithmetic. In the 20th century, binary logic became the foundation of digital circuit design and modern computing architecture. Every processor today ultimately interprets instructions as binary signals.
Fun Fact
The entire digital world - from websites and mobile apps to AI systems and space exploration software - runs on binary code. At the hardware level, everything reduces to two states: on or off. That simplicity powers the complexity of modern technology.
