1. The name of the number system in which there are only zeros and ones. This is important to computers because all computer data is ultimately a series of zeros and ones, and thus can be represented by binary numbers.2. Data that is not meant to be intepreted through a common character set (like this page you can look up ASCII characters and descriptions.">ASCII). Pure binary data is typically 8-bit data.
