On and off. Every time you reach your hand blindly into the darkness for that light switch, you should stop and think for a moment. Realize that nearly everything today we hold dear that defines us as a modern civilization is from the result of that concept. When you flip that switch, the light turns on. The light of a creative idea spawned from the simple concept of the 1 and the 0. A concept that has sparked the greatest revolution history has ever known, and the origin of a great many more things to come.
I think back and I wonder, did the first pioneers who theorized and put into practice the concept of running electricity through circuitry to achieve practical applications realize how large and profound their research and developments would be? Could they have fathomed a future where most everybody on the planet is affected in one way or another by it, yet as a whole nearly none of them truly understand and appreciate how it all works? Perhaps it is how efficiently and invisibly it has integrated itself into our lives, taken for granted and left ultimately unappreciated by the masses.
That such a basic concept as flipping a switch on and off and multiplying it exponentially to yield infinite possibilities both imaginable and realized today, as well as unknowable and limitless tomorrow...
All I can say is thank you 1 and 0.
