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.

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 systemMost 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 = 50110 = 6 0111 = 7 1000 = 81001 = 9 1010 = 10

Computers are stupid.  They can’t even count past one.

WORK TOGETHER AND CHANGE THESE NUMBERS TO BINARY:

4 8 15 16 23 42USE BINARY TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING:

1.TODAY’S DATE 2.HOW MUCH MONEY YOU PLAN TO SPEND FOR LUNCH3.YOUR MOTHER’S AGE4.HOW OLD YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU RETIRE5.(BONUS) IS THERE AN EASIER WAY TO DO THIS?
