I like to remind people that computers are stupid machines. It only knows two things: on and off. All these crazy things that we humans do on computers is distilled down to these two states: on & off. We humans don't process things that simply, so we refer to on as 1 and off as 0. Bingo, there you have binary, the basis for everything done on a computer.
