The speaker explains that computers operate using the binary (base‑2) system, which employs only the digits 0 and 1. A binary code is a sequence made up exclusively of these two symbols. The binary system maps naturally onto digital electronics: 0 represents the absence of electric current, while 1 represents its presence. This correspondence simplifies the representation of electronic circuits that drive microprocessors and computer peripherals. The speaker also notes that the binary concept can be extended metaphorically to hydraulic and pneumatic circuits, though in computing the focus remains on electronic implementations.
