&lt;p&gt;You may have heard the phrase &amp;ldquo;computers operate on 0s and 1s.&amp;rdquo;
We can use computers to store characters and numbers, and even music, photos, and videos.
When storing these things, only 0s and 1s are truly used.
Let&amp;rsquo;s explore how data can be stored using only 0s and 1s.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id="what-are-0-and-1"&gt;What are 0 and 1?&lt;a class="anchor" href="#what-are-0-and-1"&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A computer is a device that operates on electricity.
Therefore, voltage is used to represent 0 and 1.
0 means a relatively low voltage, typically 0 Volts.
1 means a relatively high voltage, typically 1 to 5 Volts.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Surging DRAM Demand</title><link>https://semonan.com/en/book/life-engineering/computer/surging-dram-demand/</link><pubDate>Wed, 03 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://semonan.com/en/book/life-engineering/computer/surging-dram-demand/</guid><description>&lt;h1 id="memory-manufacturers-are-raking-in-money"&gt;Memory Manufacturers Are Raking In Money&lt;a class="anchor" href="#memory-manufacturers-are-raking-in-money"&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron are the world&amp;rsquo;s three largest memory manufacturers.
They generate huge operating profits by producing and selling DRAM.
As of December 2025, DRAM demand has surged so much that they reportedly cannot keep up with supply.
In other words, DRAM makers are raking in money, and this trend is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
What exactly is DRAM, and why has its demand suddenly skyrocketed?
Let me explain why.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
