Binary: The Computer Language

The video explains binary as the fundamental language of technology, used in computers and electronics. It describes how binary digits, or bits, form bytes to represent data, such as text characters. The video also covers data storage, explaining how file sizes are measured in bytes and larger data sizes use prefixes like kilo, mega, and giga. Finally, it highlights binary's efficiency in computing, allowing vast amounts of information to be stored with minimal processing power.

What is the primary reason binary is used in computers?

• It is similar to Morse code.

• It can represent any letter or number.

• It is the language of technology.

• It uses only two digits, making it simple.

How many bits are there in a byte?

• 32

• 8

• 16

• 4

What does a byte represent in a computer?

• A single digit

• A character or symbol

• A complete document

• A binary code

Which prefix is used for a million bytes?

• Kilo

• Tera

• Mega

• Giga

Why is binary code more efficient for computers than decimal systems?

• It can store more information.

• It uses more digits.

• It requires less processing power.

• It is easier to understand.
