The term binary means based on two numbers only. It would be possible to use any two numbers for a binary system, however, since 0 and 1 are the first two numerals, it was considered reasonable to use those. It could just as easily have been 1 and 2. The advantage of a binary system is that it is easily converted to an electrical circuit state; one number means on, the other number means off. That makes it useful for computers, which are based on electrical circuits.
