I'm sorry, but being a programmer i couldn't help myself and had a good laugh reading this thread. 
Keeping it veeeeeeeeeeery simlple:
Since all digital electronics use electric power it's much simpler to transfer data like a ON/OFF switch. ON being 0 and OFF being 1.
So all the data you can transfer are 0's and 1's. By grouping them you have binary values/data:
000 (binary) = 0 (base 10)
001 (binary) = 1 (base 10)
010 (binary) = 2 (base 10)
011 (binary) = 3 (base 10)
100 (binary) = 4 (base 10)
101 (binary) = 5 (base 10)
110 (binary) = 6 (base 10)
111 (binary) = 7 (base 10)
to make conversions from binary is simple:
ex: 1011 = 1 x 2e3 + 0 x 2e2 + 1 x 2e1 + 1 x 2e0
11 = 8 + 0 + 2 + 1

people who don't know a lot about IT or aren't interested in IT, aren't going to know about binary code. The only reason i know how it works is because i did it at sixth form last year.

@krubach: :wow: I see that you can a lot with programming;) but what does the "e" stand for? etc: 1011=1x 2e3 and so on

Well tec that is determined by the hardware if 0 is off and 1 is on or vice versa. On top of that you got the software, which could switch it around again. Nothing to lose sleep over. )
