Imagine your computer is like a super-smart toy that uses switches to remember things. When it turns on, the switch is open, that's 0. When it turns off, the switch is closed, that's 1. Together, they make up bits, which are the smallest pieces of information. A lot of these bits working together let your computer remember everything from your favorite song to a whole video game.
Examples
- A computer turns a switch on to remember your name.
- Your photo is stored as a bunch of tiny switches in the memory.
