Base 2 otherwise known as binary can be used to represent an electronic signal. 1 for on and 0 for off. Also known as a bit, BInary digiT.

So by stringing together multiply signals it starts to form patterns. 8 bits are used to make up a byte making 256 combinations and so computer communication becomes possible.
