jan 1, 1679 - Binary number system perfected
Description:
1. Gottfried Leibniz's perfection of the numerical system allowed for binary to be used in computers later on in history.
2. By simplifying the system, more people were able to use it with greater ease than the scattered bits of information he had to work with.
3. Binary is now used not only for computers, but also for encoding hidden messages or pictures through a system that not many people can understand, fun!
