How exactly does binary code work?

Title:
How exactly does binary code work?
Speaker:
José Américano N L F de Freitas
Description:

Imagine trying to use words to describe every scene in a film, every note in a song, or every street in your town. Now imagine trying to do it using only the numbers 1 and 0. Every time you use the Internet to watch a movie, listen to music, or check directions, that's exactly what your device is doing, using the language of binary code. José Américo N L F de Freitas explains how binary works. [TED-Ed Animation by Qa'ed Mai]
