You count from 0 onwards, you will realise. However, after base 10,base 11 wouldn't want a "10" to confuse with a "1""0", so they use alphabets. Then symbols, then etc.

its just easier to represent on and off with a 0 and 1.

it is 0 and 1 cause of the electricity. Your ele tricity inside a machine is flowing. think of a processor as a big stack of switches that can be either on or off. why do you want to choose another numbers to represent No-electricity as 0? 0 is null, it is a big" NO". 1 actually just means "something", "on". this is as simple as it gets
