The circuitry that makes up the inner workings of a computer comes from transistor type circuits. These transistor circuits are configured to have only two states. For example, their output voltage might be either 5 volts or 0 volts. Because there are only two output states possible, it's very convenient to use Boolean logic to design these circuits since you can represent each state by a one(1) or zero(0), a 'Yes' or 'No', or a 'True' or 'False,' thereby able to easily exploit the Boolean operators.
