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).

This is one of the highest production quality videos I have ever seen on youtube and it answers so many questions I have had for so long, I just wish this video came out like 7 years ago haha

The "kicking 3 out" explanation is insanely good! I've had to explain binary numbers to people in the past and I wasn't able to explain exactly why we use powers of 2 without sounding "mathematical".

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.

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.

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 ā€œexplainersā€ 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.

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

Great video. Really caught me off gaurd with that "1024, since I last uploaded" jokešŸ¤£ Good stuff

I was shocked to see the view count of this video only in the mere thousands. The quality and production made me automatically assume this was in the hundreds of thousands. Dude, keep working at it, and the algorithm won't be able to ignore you forever. People deserve to see you work!

The bit about using file extensions to tell the difference between what the bits represent was mind-blowing! I've learned a ton from this video but that segment was phenomenal.

Iā€™m a software engineer. About mid level. I rarely have to deal with this type of stuff cuz of course itā€™s all abstracted away by the time it gets to the high level programming languagesā€¦but man I love watching your videos. It brings me back to my college days when we briefly had to learn about this stuff. Thereā€™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.

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

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 Youtube that I was interested in that topic but knowing that Google and Youtube are part of the same company oh well... . Thank you for this masterpiece.
