THERE ARE 10 TYPES OF PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND BINARY - THOSE WHO DO, AND THOSE WHO DON’T. Computer chips and binary

Computers are not smart. “ It may not look like it, but computers, behind all of their gloss and fancy glass effects are stupid.” http://osix.net/modules/article/?id=939 At their most basic, computers are very very large collections of switches, or circuits, all on computer chips. What is a computer chip? A computer chip is a common term for a microprocessor or a microcomputer that is on a single integrated circuit. Taken from: How Computer Chips Function | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/how-does_4690703_how-computer-chips-function.html#ixzz1YyPVhYLL

Making it count Humans have used many different ways to count. MMXI

Hands-on numbering Still, human number systems count by tens - we call our base ten counting method the decimal system Most experts believe that we count by tens because (surprise!) we have ten fingers. If we only had eight fingers on each hand, we would probably count in groups of sixteen.

I’m counting on you To count in decimal, you start with 0. Every time you increment (add one to) the number you use another number. This works great until you run out of numbers. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ??? At that point, you reset the number by making it 0 again and increment the number left of the original number. Now the rightmost number starts over again.

Just the two of us Switches only have two positions - “On” and “Off”. Either the switch is open, or closed. Computer chips store numbers in the same way. This is called Binary . Binary has only two digits, so computers use binary to line up with the open/closed circuits. Each computer has billions and billions of these circuits in its memory, organized in a way to keep track of very large numbers and very complex calculations.

Just the two of us There are only two digits in binary, 0 and 1. You count the same way, but you run out of digits very quickly. Here is binary from 0 to 10. 0000 = 0 0001 = 1 0010 = 2 0011 = 3 0100 = 4 0101 = 5 0110 = 6 0111 = 7 1000 = 8 1001 = 9 1010 = 10 Computers are stupid. They can’t even count past one. source: How they work: how computers store numbers using binary - National Using Computers | Examiner.com http://www.examiner.com/using-computers-in-national/how-they-work-how-computers-store-numbers-using-binary#ixzz1YySTr2yx

WORK TOGETHER AND CHANGE THESE NUMBERS TO BINARY: 4 8 15 16 23 42 USE BINARY TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING: TODAY’S DATE HOW MUCH MONEY YOU PLAN TO SPEND FOR LUNCH YOUR MOTHER’S AGE HOW OLD YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU RETIRE (BONUS) IS THERE AN EASIER WAY TO DO THIS? Now you try
