Why do computers use binary?

This website supports learning with digital technologies in years 9 and 10 for computational thinking.  The lessons are designed for students new to programming and align with Computational thinking, progress outcome 4 from the NZ 2007 Curriculum.   

CT: Progress outcome 4

In authentic contexts and taking account of end-users, students decompose problems to create simple algorithms using the three building blocks of programing: sequence, selection, and iteration. They implement these algorithms by creating programs that use inputs, outputs, sequence, basic selection using comparative operators, and iteration. They debug simple algorithms and programs by identifying when things go wrong with their instructions and correcting them, and they are able to explain why things went wrong and how they fixed them.
