When you understand this, you start to understand why computers can be made out of hydraulic pipes, domino chains, interconected brain cells, marbles rolling on slides or wooden gears. The idea of the bit is independent of the physical substrate which encodes it. You don't need to have electric circuits to build a computer (but electrcity is fast, reliable and highly controlable).

@@OvalLibrary Tell them that binary is the simplest possible number system as it contains only 2 different numbers 1 and 0, and this is very beneficial because it can be represented by just two state, which makes things very long (as the video explained) but thats fine for a computer because it also makes the transistors very simple (either around 0 or 5 volt) from transistors you can build numbers (in this binary representation and later with floating point representation) and can also build boolean logic which then can operate on said numbers.

I can't believe that we live in a time where this content is free to watch. You sir are amazing.

The reason why this video is SO GOOD is because it starts out at a level that just about anyone can understand, and quickly builds on top of it with logical steps, each of which anyone can understand, and suddenly you understand video encoding 101. If you understand the logic of something, "getting" the practicality of it is a non-issue because it only requires memorizing things. Which itself is easier because you get WHY you're memorizing each thing.

I have a decade of experience as a software engineer. I have to say this is an exceptional explanation! So many videos about this topic assume the viewer knows more than they do. You could show this to a total novice and they would come out with a very strong beginners understanding of how computers work at a pretty deep level. Excellent, excellent work! Please keep making more “explainers” like this! You have a gift!

I can definitely see this video being used for high school CS classes. You have the great ability to break down a complex topic for non-CS people into very understandable chunks plus the video itself is pleasing to look at/listen to. Your quantum computing and raytracing videos are still my favorite though! Seriously, keep up the great work! Its rare to find someone who puts as much effort in the visuals and the explanations as you do. I strive to be as knowledgeable as you are in computer science.

If you started a Patreon, I'd join in a heartbeat. Don't even care if there's exclusive content or not, it would just make me happy to be able to help fund your continued educational-video-making. You are exceptionally good at this.

not only is this extremely informative, it's also just sarcastic enough on certain "bits", pun intended, such as the 1024-bit numbers being used for what they're used, great video :)

I’m a software engineer. About mid level. I rarely have to deal with this type of stuff cuz of course it’s all abstracted away by the time it gets to the high level programming languages…but man I love watching your videos. It brings me back to my college days when we briefly had to learn about this stuff. There’s something truly magical about binary and hexadecimal representation of data. Thanks for all your hard work. Your videos always have great explanations as well as great animations to back them up. I hope you keep at this and keep enjoying the process of making these videos.

The joke regarding the use of 1024-bit numbers made me snicker significantly aloud. XD Great animation and a clear and accurate explaination!

As a compression researcher, this has to be the most outstanding explanation of what data IS and the gist of what compression is I have ever seen. Definitely going to use some of your explanations in my future non-technical presentations!

You just gave me half my computer architecture class in a single video! Thankfully for me I knew about all this stuff beforehand, but the way you so succinctly present it was well worth the refresher!

What a coincidence. Throwing files in a Hex Editor and finding out about how files are structured. Even creating my own bitmap by writing bytes in a file is what I did the last weeks. And now here is an amazing video that just summarizes all of my findings and more. What a brilliant video and charming visualization. I wonder which combination of 1's and 0's told KZread that I was interested in that topic but knowing that Google and KZread are part of the same company oh well... . Thank you for this masterpiece.

Ah, this is familiar territory! When I was in high school, I loaded up the configuration file for Epic Pinball in X-Tree Gold's built-in hex editor and figured out which values to change to zeroes to get infinite balls on all tables. I learned how to write HTML by loading up saved web pages from the 1994 web in text editors and writing my own with similar structures. A few days ago, I wrote a simple C program to generate a palette and figured out the structure of the palette format by loading it up in a text editor. Did hit a little snag when directing the program's printf() outputs to a file, though. The Jasc palette format originated on Windows, so Paint Shop Pro 7 expects CR/LF newlines. Linux just uses LF newlines. Fixed that by loading up in a text editor that supported converting newlines and saving it. Not really the right way to do it, but it worked.

Another masterpiece. Interesting to think that everything about this video has been transmitted to me using the technology the video itself is about.

This is probably the best educating video i have ever seen. I will remember it for my lifetime, both what i've learned and the editing. Truly genius

10:05 woah why are so many of the videos in the fake page so similar to my interests and so many videos that I have seen?? absolutely amazing video as usual!! I absolutely love your video-making style!

I am currently in a Computer Organization and Machine Language course and so I was happy to see this video pop up and describe what I’m learning in a fun color and artistic way! The sound effects and visuals made me engrossed the entire time. I look forward to future videos :D

Holy shit....if only every aspect of my Computer Science course was explained in such a manner!

I had seen these topics explained separately, but I had never seen them explained all together. Now it makes much more sense. great video! :D

Incredibly well articulated and presented! Honestly can't believe I didn't find the channel earlier, this video does a great job with presenting information in-depth without getting lost in the details.

your video on path tracing was epic, so this is very likely going to be very good as well. keep up the good work!

Not only is this video fun to watch and really informative, what I learned today is that binary was made standard because some dude would like his computer to work properly while he warmed his pizza in the microwave lol In fact, I think the idea that trinary and quadary circuits do exists to be the most fascinating part of this video. If I had any sway at all, could I ask you to kindly consider talking more about how they work and what they're used for? Excellent job here overall Cheers!

Most non binary representation is use in communication but we design them to be converted immediately to binary because CMOS circuits are inherently binary. CMOS has P type and N type transistor and we use combinations of this transistor to build logic gates and more complicated circuits. Flash storage also use non binary states to record and store information.

The Colossus, the first (special purpose) programmable digital computer, used quinary logic! It seems that it made a lot of sense at the time, when they used thousands of thermionic valves (vacuum tubes) to break the Nazi cryptography encoded in 5 bit characters.

A lot of these explanations were completely new to me. Really awesome to hear something explained in a totally new way and from a different perspective. Loved it!

From the bit flips, to the fact that blue light seem dimmer.. You nailed all the small details as well. Amazing.

This is probably the simplest yet best way I've seen someone explain binary. Good job!

I already knew some of this concepts but the way you explain it and the visuals just make it even more clear and easy to process, this one of the best videos regardind computer binary imo

Oh boi.... This is so much and so well-displayed information. One could easily pause this video every 3 minutes and ponder for up to half an hour when learning this for the first time. Great content Josh! Thank you!

Incredible editing in this. Loved the sound effects and all the effort put into making it

This video is very underrated, it covers up the basics of how computers work but with much more details than most other videos. Keep up the good work!

This is by far the most comprehensible and well produced video on the topic. It definitely should have many more views!

WHAT A SICK VIDEO! I hope you are here to stay and we get to see many more works of art!

Abstraction is truly an astonishing concept in CS. Your title got got hooked by mentioning it. You sir have got your self a subscriber. Amazing video!

i've watched a lot of videos about the inner-workings of technology over my years watching youtube but this has to be the most informative and fun one i've watched

You earned a subscriber. This was brilliantly done, from illustrations to explanation to humour. You didn't have to say the line, the content says enough on it's own.

The depth of concepts explained in just simple animations is amazing ! This content is gold. 🔥

That grid of suggested videos at 10:05 was so accurate, I genuinely thought the video ended then.

This is probably the most intuitive, beginner-friendly introduction to binary I have ever seen. Very impressive.

Amazing work. I’m a software engineer with 20 years of experience and a major in system communication, and yours is the best summary of computer science and bits that I’ve ever seen.

Man, only 90 seconds into the video I just had to stop it from playing to gaze in awe and wonder about the quality of the sound design. It's just completely astonishing.

Criminally underrated channel and video! Absolutely love this!

Definitely one of your best videos. Keep up the outstanding work! 💯

First video from you and I'm glad it was recommended. Great quality, great humor and great can of YT phrases. Just canned, can't wait to see more.

This is awesome. By far, the best and easiest to understand explanation of how our computers work. Thank you so much!!!

Simply just one of the best videos on how computer works. Perfect mix of complex concepts and simple analogies. Liked a lot the visual backup. Programs are a huge stack of plain text files until the compiler haha. Saludos

Fascinating. Never had someone able to clearly explain to me the "why". I appreciate it, even if I still fear learning to program. :P

This is one of the best videso of explaining roots of computer science I have seen over the internet. The explaination of deep-level topics was silky-smooth and nicely kept simple. This channel is doomed to grow :)

The way you explained binary by deleting all of the duplicate values amazed me. I never seen it explained like that and it is very intuitive to grasp.

this is a whole another level in explaining ... filled so many gaps i had ... especially the "why choosing a particular way or method to design such concepts?" question , and demonstrating it ... the answer to the why question deepen the understanding and makes it comfortable to deal with the how question and this video is an over kill

great stuff, this is the first time i saw your video, but if you can continue with this quality of the videos i can see you getting big. subbed.

Finally, a clear and concise explanation of the powers of abstration.

Awesome video ! It really packs a punch and the quality is top notch please make more !

Very well done video. Clear, and impressive!

This is hands down the best summary video I've seen on the subject. I've been coding for around 10 years now and as a self taught programmer I initially had so many questions about how computers work as it all kind of feels like magic in the beginning. This video would've really helped to wrap my head around some concepts back then! It was still very cool to watch it now. Would highly recommend to anyone starting in the field or anyone willing to understand a bit more about how computers work.

This is one of the best descriptions I've ever heard for how binary works

I looooved this video. Not only because of the animation as others have mentioned, but I think this is one of the best descriptions of the beauty of Computer Science. It's like that video of a guy using his MacBooks trackpad and saying "how does it know??? how does it know where my finger is moving?!" while he moves his finger in circles and the pointer moves across the screen. I think this video explains how that works fundamentally. Abstraction and Functions all the way down.

Keep it up. Looking forward your next video

Subbed! Answers so many questions beautifully! Thanks.

The level of production in this video is awesome! Man I hope you got a tons more subscriber and views! You truly deserve it!
