00110001 and 00110000 is binary code to represent the numbers One and Zero. Binary code is the system that was created that allows computers to 'work' . A computer can't understand a language but a computer chip can understand if binary code is on or off, or One or Zero through transistors within a microchip. These two states are reached by a charge of electricity. 3-5volts is on or One, less than 3volts is off or Zero.
Software code is translated into ones or zeros and then processed through a micro chip. Each bit of code ie each letter character or number or punctuation is converted to a one or zero sequence which triggers a transistor, engineered within the microchip, into an on or off state, . These on/off transistor states allows the computer to process the code and causes software to work.
The Apple 16 iPhone houses the M1 microchip, 1inch square in size,which has 15 billion transistors etched into the silicon, engineered to process the One and Zero state.​
I think we are living through a revolution of the Western Individual. There is no storming of the palace but rather we as individuals are being altered by the technology of software. The analogue person is leaving and fragments of the digital person is now arriving.​
