Digital technology primarily uses the binary number system. Binary is a base-2 number system which means it comprises only two digits: 0 and 1. Every digital device uses binary to represent and process information, because at the hardware level, devices like computers and other digital electronics can easily distinguish between two states: on or off, which correspond to 1 or 0 respectively.
