Computers in fiction are frequently portrayed at exchanging information or communicating mainly in binary, i.e., in zeroes and ones. This is because Real Life computers use binary information in their internal processing, and authors then apply this well-known fact to depict how computers in general operate. Compare with Expospeak. Subtrope of Speaks in Binary. |

Described as the foundation of the Digimon World in Digimon V-Tamer 01 and something of an arc number. Besides showing up in the title, Taichi and Zero symbolically represent the numbers with Taichi's name including "ichi", meaning "one", and Zero being Self Explanatory. It's first brought up in-story by Lord HolyAngemon when Taichi and Zero explain their combination and 100% win record to him. The guardian of the Net Ocean and the Jijimon from Hospitown can analyze and make sense of any given object's 0-1 arrangement, Demon can manipulate the arrangements to inconsistent degrees, Arkadimon breaks them apart then eats them and so on. Seen at end of Digimon Adventure: After being "deleted" by Apocalymon, the Digidestined are in a blank world (possibly the recycling bin of the Digital World) where the only data there are zeroes and ones. In Digimon Tamers, a lot of computer code is shown in binary but this is fact a subversion; what is shown is either ASCII (which is so ancient even Yamaki finds it insulting it is being used as a direct means of communication), or it was actually directly written in machine language (from a programmer that started in the 80's). |

Wally from Dilbert invoked this when he was accused of abusing the company Internet to look at porn. He responded that all he downloaded was a series of harmless zeroes and ones — the people at IT who intercepted his traffic were the ones who "activated" those zeroes and ones and turned them into naughty pictures, so they should be fired. Needless to say, nobody was fooled. Another Dilbert had an old programmer, Dilbert and Wally sitting at the lunch table. The man says, "When I started programming, we didn't have any of these sissy 'icons' and 'windows.' All we had were zeros and ones — and sometimes we didn't even have ones. I wrote an entire database program using only zeros." Dilbert replies, "You had zeros? We had to use the letter 'O.'" |

Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash has the similar mind-control system to "Whackets". A specifically crafted image can crash the brains of humans, but since the image is black and white and based on binary, it only works on computer programmers (as they have knowledge of binary ingrained into their brain). | |

One of the notes frequently accompanying Schlock Mercenary comics mentioned that the creation of thinking A.I. was made possible by the evolution from the "binary digit" into the "trinary digit", allowing computers to think in terms of "yes", "no", and "maybe". (On a side note, it is also mentioned that the same logic that turned "binary digit" into "bit" also turned "trinary digit" into "tit", further discouraging females from pursuing a career in programming.) In Real Life, the trinary base unit is called a "trit". Possibly for that very reason. Base four and five units, however, would probably be "quits" and "pits". This is a pretty egregious mistake, especially considering that the artist worked for Novell. The concept of possibility is handled not through adding a new logical value, but treating true/false as a continuum as opposed to a binary selection, allowing for values that fall between 0 and 1. Trinary logic systems do exist, and are most notably used in databases. The third value, though, is not "maybe". but indeterminate, a.k.a. "I don't know." |

ReBoot has an entire race of people, called Binomes, which are anthropomorphic zeroes and ones. Beyond that, there are a few times when characters count in binary. Those infected by the super-virus Daemon count backwards in binary prior to deletion. Age is apparently recorded in a binary fashion, a character once said another character's age should be one-one, while earlier, Enzo's clothes change from reading 01 to 10 during his birthday. In one episode, a binome tells a joke in ones and zeroes, which, in this case, is actually a roundabout substitution cipher: if you translate the ones and zeroes into decimal numbers, then the decimal numbers into letters, it becomes "Take my wife, please!" | |

Similarly spoofed by Bender in Futurama. "Hell Is Other Robots" has Bender giving a Robotology prayer in all zeroes and ones (though, oddly enough, it ends with "2"). "The Honking" has the sequence "0101100101" (357 written in binary with an unnecessary leading zero) appear on a wall, which Bender dismisses as "gibberish". He then immediately notices the sequence reflected in a mirror: "1010011010" ("666" written in binary) and freaks out. And in "A Head in the Polls", he has a dream that turns into a nightmare when Bender thinks he saw a 2 (incidentally, there is one in the flash of 1s and 0s of his dream; it's visible just at the bottom as it ends). Fry comforts him: "There's no such thing as 2." In Bender's Big Score, it's revealed that the entire universe and time itself runs on zeroes and ones. Even money says it's a series of tubes, too. The binary number on the door of Bender's apartment is the ASCII value of the dollar sign. Prayers and ominous messages aside, Bender isn't actually fluent in binary, he just knows how to ask where the bathroom is. |

The video game sequel to TRON, TRON 2.0 introduced Byte: although Jet initially thinks he's a Bit, Byte gets indignant and says that he's eight times smarter than any simple Bit. Ironically, this statement betrays the comprehension gap that leads to this trope: a byte is composed of eight bits, but has eight orders of magnitude greater capacity. If Byte played by the same rules as Bit, he'd be able to say 256 distinct things. | |

In the Stargate Atlantis episode "The Intruder", the computer monitor behind Hermiod displayed The Matrix-style scrolling columns... consisting entirely of the digits "0" and "1". You'd think the United States military would build something more sensible than that, given their supposed fondness of viewer-friendly interfaces. It's worse than that, after staring at the scrolling numbers for a few seconds McKay immediately deduced that he was looking at a virus. He then went on to press a few buttons and translate the binary into Wraith, somehow confirming that the Wraith must have been the ones to write it. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation did a first-season episode in which the computer-like Bynars race steals the Enterprise to save their homeworld. At the end, they claim that they didn't just ask because "You might have said no". Riker concludes that, as the Binars think like computers, it all comes down to zeroes and ones to them: yes vs. no, take the ship vs. don't take the ship. And if you think this metaphor doesn't make sense, that's because the plot of this episode wasn't very good. The title of said episode is "11001001", of course. | |
