Why do computers use binary, anyway? — The Binary Tree

Everyone knows computers use binary. But why? What's so special about binary? The answer turns out to be fundamental to existence itself.

Dude this is seriously one of the best videos I've ever seen. The way you explain is clear as crystal! Your explanation about sound headphones was awesome, I can't believe I never thought about it in that way... Thanks!! I'm certainly subscribing to your channel. Peace!

Can I just say you are one of the MOST talented teachers I've come across. You explain things in a ridiculously easy to understand manner and your visuals are spot-on. Many teachers are poor at teaching because they cannot connect the dots themselves...you might as well have a parrot reading out a textbook! Definitely not the case with you ...you understand the subject matter well. Keep it up (PS: your finite state automaton video brought me here) RS.

Earned my subscribe and shared this video to friends in my Computer Engineering intro class. Thanks man, your animations and fluidity of speech worked flawlessly.

Gotta say, you're really channeling Sagan with your clear, unpretentious explanation of a complex issue and then bringing it back to why it's philosophically important.

Your videos are precise, well produced, well explained. Not to mention the visuals. Bravo!

Excellent video. I loved your philosophical rant at the end; it kinda brought everything together for me into something more profound. Well explained.
