1-bit computing

Okay kiddo, let's talk about 1-bit computing. You know how our computers have a lot of memory and can do a lot of things at once? Well, a 1-bit computer is much simpler than that.

Think of it like a light switch. When you flip the switch, the light either turns on or off. That's like one bit of information - it's either one thing or the other.

Now imagine we have a bunch of these switches all connected together. We can use them to represent different things. For example, we could use them to represent the letters of the alphabet.

Let's take the letter "A". We could say that when the first switch is on and the others are off, that represents the letter "A".

So with a bunch of these switches, we can do some basic computing. We can add and subtract, and even do things like playing simple games.

But because 1-bit computing is so simple, it can't do everything that a regular computer can do. It's good for things like simple calculations and games, but it's not good for things like browsing the internet or watching videos.

Does that make sense, kiddo?
