Is that why all digital computers use binary?
This may actually be an example of where a word's meaning had changed over time. Not sure of the etymology.
Some random dictionary has "one of the elements that combine to form numbers in a system other than the decimal system" as one of the definitions.
I spent way too long trying to prove something there...
I think it's because they use discrete numbers instead of varying voltages in analog systems. There have been digital computers built that use base 3.
