While practical DNA storage remains elusive, a team of Chinese researchers has developed a DNA cassette tape that could theoretically store every music track ever recorded. Xingyu...
We aren’t actually using on or off either, but rather different levels of electrical charge. If there is more electric charge past a certain threshold being picked up, it’s interpreted as a 1 or on, if it’s beneath this defined threshold, it’s interpreted as a 0 or off.
1 and 0 are abstractions, not the physical reality, which is messy and analog. We are forcing this analog reality into a binary state by classifying it.
