A perfect introduction to binary for children, the book explains how even the monitor that you are looking at right now uses 1s and 0s, to determine how bright the screen in front of you will be. Binary are presented as 0s and 1s, of which in computer language 1 means yes and 0 means no. Music too is stored in Binary. Each note of each instrument stands for a number called a frequency. This is translated into 1s and 0s.
