@deanmullen10 if the computer sees that electricity is running through the wire, its a 1. If not, its a 0. To put even simpler, on is 1, off is 0. When you flip your light switch on, that's a 1. When you flip it off, that's a 0.

I just want 2 know when ppl say all digital information is just 0s and 1s what are the 0s and 1s? are they physical images been scanned by the computer or are they simply 0s and 1s stored in electrical information and if so whats so 0 and 1 about them? or is that just what there called?
