Why Do Computers Use Binary


3 Things I learned:

1. Sound is vibration in the air. 
2. A digital signal represents a value as a series of discrete values. 
3. Binary is a base 2 numeral system because it uses digits 0 and 1. 

2 Things I don't understand well:

1. How a computer uses these numbers. 
2. The emphasis on the importance of the number 2. 

Something I'd like to know more about:

How is choice the "essence of two-ness?"
