    Binary is the way we represent electricity being present or not present in a circuit.  If electricity is not present we write this as a 0.  If electricity is present we write this as a 1.

    Binary can also represent magnetised or polarised regions on a hard drive.  0 if the region is not polarised, 1 if the region is polarised.

    Binary is used in computers because computers run on electrical circuits where electricity is either present or not present.
