Look at this power switch - Text

| means on and O means off. I say they represent a closed and open circuit while a friend says they represent binary code.

Who is right here?

Closed and open circuit is correct. Everybody knows that.

 

[quizzelsnatch]

hahahahahaha. what an idiot.

Binary? WTF? Never heard that before.

Open and closed circuit. Makes the most sense to me

 

[b0mbrman]

Yeah, I figured I was right...

...because I'm freakin' awesome!

I just couldn't find a link with a definitive answer.

 

[sswingle]

Just like every other power switch in existance

 

[djheater]

Wait... wait...

In a sense you're both right.

A circuit can either be closed or open, and this is the fundamental inspiration for binary.

its the truth value of

(this thing is ON!)

it's binary representation of an open and closed circuit.
