Learning about the binary system and how it is made from electrical charges did overwhelm me.

This section may have been just a brief overview of it, the scope of it is what through me off. Is it necessary for us to learn Binary in order to work in this field? Let me know if you guys think.
No, I would say simply understand the exponential power of 2 and that computer uses this instead of power base of 10 when calculating file sizes is sufficient for IS101 :-)
ReplyDeleteI understand the math. Some of the items get confusing when they are using the 1 and zero. I now have a better understanding of what makes the digital age.
ReplyDeleteWith Binary System there are calculators you can get that automatically changes the 1s and 0s to the decimal system of exponential powers of 10 which helps with understanding binary a bit more than just using mental math.
ReplyDeleteThe binary number system also overwhelmed me at first, but then I started to get the hang of it.
ReplyDeleteMy brother used to have a binary watch and I used to make fun of him, but I thought it was really cool but I couldn't read it. He graduated from ITT Tech and then was hired from Intel 4 months before he graduated. Its cool
ReplyDeleteThe binary system is overwhelming. Personally, I would not want to learn how to "read" binary codes. It just seems like a lot.
ReplyDeleteAs an IT preparation worker, I think binary learning is very necessary. Because the following duodecimal number system and hexadecimal MAC addresses) are based on understanding binary!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tiffany. When I was going over 1.16, I had a blank stare on my face the entire time and still couldn't figure it out with all the examples.
ReplyDeleteBinary coding sure is confusing with all the terminology and math. Hope all this gets easier.
ReplyDeleteI will pass on binary coding. I will leave it up to the Matrix to do the work for me. (LOL)
ReplyDeleteVisualising binary code is like seeing the matrix code floating
ReplyDeleteNever been a fan of numbers/math, so yes I can agree with most that the binary system is overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the binary system is overwhelming. But I am getting the hang of it.
ReplyDeleteOh man, binary coding is so difficult. I don't think I can be able to understand it. I barely passed my math classes in high school, numbers are hard!
ReplyDeleteIt really makes you have to give credit to the people who major in fields that work with these topics daily!
ReplyDeleteThis section was simply difficult to understand. Although I do enjoy math, there is more to this.
ReplyDeleteI must say Binary Code is one of the fascinating subjects. I never stopped to realize that our generation's effortless finger strokes on a computer keyboard, is only possible due to the consistent intelligent thought put into one key at a time.
ReplyDeleteBinary code seems interesting, definitely would give it a try in the future.
ReplyDeleteI use binary in dealing with electronics so it's not a new concept to me, but I have to admit it did confuse when utilizing binary when it comes to filters, switches, and relays, but that is conversation for another time.
