A computer is based on an on-off swutch.

Well, actually a whole mind-boggling many
many many on-off switches. Lots!

We use our fingers to count on, so we count to
10 a lot, and kinda built up all kinds of math on
that. They figured out the revolution of planets
& stars & all, just by starting with counting to
10 & going from there.

A computer can only count to 2. the little switch
is either off, or on. Only 2 fingers.

But it is really, really fast at counting....

So, everything comes down to counting up to
2. All the info swimming around, all the math -
it's based on such a simple thing.

An on or off light switch.

Same thing a magneto uses - electricity. And a
way to switch it on & off.
