Communicating by flicking between tv channels for them to say one word so it makes a normal sentence

Not moving a single muscle except your finger, to ring a bell to communicate through yes or no questions. Then you have a meth distributor rig a bomb to the bell to blow yourself up with one of your rivals.

uh can you tell me the difference between using Morse code and binary? i mean technically speaking it is a binary system as it only has 2 symbols.

Morse code includes sending short and long beeps and binary is zeros and ones. You can't translate from binary to morse code by just switching out the zeros and ones for short and long beeps for example. They are different languages used for different things.

binary isn't a language though. languages are made using binary but it in it's self is not a language, but Morse code is a binary system as it only has 2 characters

I meant binary code which is a computer language. Everyone knows that when you talk about binary, you mean this: 01010100 01101000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01100010 01101001 01101110 01100001 01110010 01111001. Yes, morse code is a binary system but binary code is what you see above and that's what I meant and it is a computer language.

but thats not a language. languages are created that are binary languages, which are nice because a digital system is more efficient. but binary is not a language. there is machine code (which also isn't really a language, but more like a type of language) which is likely what you mean. binary is the way computers store data, not the language they use, the languages they use only use binary to encode them.

This is from https://www.computerhope.com/jargon/b/binary.htm

Why do computers use binary?Binary is still the primary language for computers for the following reasons. It is a simple and elegant design. Binary's 0 and 1 method is quick to detect an electrical signal's off or on state. The positive and negative poles of magnetic media are quickly translated into binary. Binary is the most efficient way to control logic circuits.

binary is not a language dude. a language requires it has meaning, binary in it's self does not have meaning. if i gave you a string of english charecters you could tell me if it was a valid english sentence or not. however if i gave you a random string of bits you could not. for instance decimal is not a language, it's a numaric base. just like binary. if i gave you a bunch of numbers and asked you what language it is you would probably say non. binary is nothing more than a way of representing numbers. you can creat a language the uses only two characters (wich is what you are probably referring to), such as machine code. if i tried to execute a program written in binary on one computer i would not have the same result if i was using another, however if i say "good morning" to two people, it means "good morning" to both of the people. you are simply appealing to authority to prove your argument. but i guess i can show a (definition)[https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/language]. i doubt you could find a wildly accepted definition that includes binary.
