Ok lets clarify some conceptions first. Binary is not really only 0 and 1. Binary is two different states. For example: Low voltage or high voltage Dark or Light. But why we use 0 and 1? Because cpus are designed to understand this abstraction. Ok? So There are other options to binary? Yes. You can build a computer using ternary logic or you can build a computer in any base you like. The problem is that its not easy to implement. Another reason is because a lots of applications binary is sufficient. We got to deep in binary and implement from beggining a new model is kind of a pain. To computers exists in the way we know today was put a lot of effort, resources, years and lives. Maybe one day we will use another model. But until that day computers will count in base 2.
