What would be today’s technology had we never realized the value of binary numbers and harnessed it to produce digital technology?
I was wondering, what do you think today’s technology would look like if binary numbers had never been discovered and utilized for digital technology?
That's an interesting question. Without binary numbers, digital technology as we know it today would not exist. Instead, we might be using other systems, such as ternary or decimal, to process and store information. It's hard to say exactly what form these systems would take, as they would be designed entirely differently. It's also possible that analog technology would have continued to dominate, since binary was a major factor in the shift towards digital technology.
