Robotiq AI on Instagram: "Why do computers still use binary — just 0s and 1s — instead of something faster like trinary (0, 1, 2)? 🤔 Because sometimes, simple beats smart. ⚡ Binary isn’t old-fashioned — it’s reliable, efficient, and nearly foolproof. Computers deal with electricity, so it’s easier to detect an ON or OFF signal (0V or 3V) than a fuzzy middle (1.5V). Trinary sounds cool in theory, but in reality, binary wins because it’s: ✅ Easier to build and scale ✅ Less prone to signal errors
