Binary is not just a type of file format or a popular choice of programming language. No, no, it's so much more than that.
Binary is the ultimate answer to every question, the final word in every argument, and the sole reason for the existence of every computer. It's like the 'I'm right, and you're wrong' of the digital world.
But, have you ever stopped to think about what happens when you ask a computer to do something, and it just says 'NO?' That's right, it's not just a 'no', it's a binary '0'. The computer is not just refusing your request, it's sending you a message, a message that says: 'I am not going to do what you asked, and don't bother me with the details.'
So, the next time you're faced with a binary dilemma, remember: it's not just a 1 or 0, it's a whole world of 'yes' and 'no', 'yes' and 'maybe', and 'yes' and 'maybe' and 'no'.
