I Understand Binary Code

As someone who has to read packet traces, I not only understand base2, but I also understand base 8, 10, 16, and just about any other base variant.  It does seem to confuse those who can barely use base10. 

I was teaching...

shouldn't it be kept at 8bit to avoid confusion?

Base2, uses zero and one (0 & 1) as values.  Each value is known as a "bit".  The usual notation is with 8 bits, called a byte.  Byte notation is as below:

10011101 = 157

|128 | 64 | 32 | 16...
