4
With only 2 positions—off or on—binary or digital has only 2 digits 0 and 1 So instead of ones, tens, hundreds, etc.; there is a ones column, a twos column, a fours column, an eights column and so on. Computers have on/off switches called GATES

About now, you might be wondering why you should care. For Matrix movie fans, the message of the series is that the person who knows the code, controls the world! So what?
