Why a number system of digits 0...9 still survives though computers can work by 'binary' and its expansions?

Question

A system of using ten number digits (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9) is as old as Vedic Mathematics! Even though computers rely on 'binary' and 'its variants' they have not replaced use of number system with ten number digits?

A correct answer to this shall add a useful public awareness that 'which one of said two systems truly excell' !

Kindly note that each answer shall have clear reasoning!

Answer 1

humans can use more easy a 10 digits number sistem than binary sistem(try to write 67543 or any other number in binary,not mention to use it!).This is my opinion.
Could be wrong, like any other, but still now is my opinion.

Answer 2

I think using a base 10 number system for humans became the standard because we have 10 fingers. It's an easy way to teach math to count on your fingers when you are younger. Note that not every culture uses or has used a base 10 number system. Some use / have used a base 8, 16, 20 or 60 number system.

Computers use binary because of the way they work internally. You get problems of accuracy trying to represent base 10 numbers through voltage. It's much easier for computer to represent about 0 voltage as 0, and positive voltage as 1.

Answer 3

i think the decimal system is quite better since in language (in ALL languages) all numbers depend on those (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9)...with the exception of 11 and 12, all numbers r read as we write them in decimal (15 is fif-teen, 23 is twenty-three)...
that's one reason, another is that decimal is the most efficient system (the shortest way to write numbers), systems with a lower number of numerals (for example: octal) needs more digits to write the same number than decimal (eight-thousand in decimal is 8000 (takes 4 digits) but in octal is 17500 (takes five digits)) and it's better than using a system with more than tem shapes (like hexadecimal) because this means that u will need to use new shapes (in order to have 16 numerals) or use letters which might confusion...

Answer 4

It also depends on space. Sure, computers can hold bits to describe a number of several hundred places in decimal, but for a human looking at all of those one's and zero's can be daunting.

I'd like it better if the decimal system changed to Hex. It makes larger numbers with less digits (FF as opposed to 255).

Answer 5

This is an easy one. If the world gets too hot, we've proven that we can survive it because the "Cradles of Civilization" were in hot, dry areas. If the world gets cold, then we've already proven that we can withstand ice ages, and that's without any "high" technology. If the world gets overpopulated, it will, out of necessity, balance itself out. I don't think we need to worry about surviving the next 100 years. The real question is how to we keep the next 100 years from becoming the next Dark Age.

Answer 6

as there are electric components on the motherboard or any electric circuit like transistor , switches which can be either on or off means 0 or 1 .So the computer run on binary system.
on the other hand human beings are capable of doing anything in fractions like there is more enough b/w 0 and 1

from my opinion human should work on hexadecimal numbers

Answer 7

It's all relative... if kids were brought up knowing numbers only in binary or octal or hex, then you'd be asking this question about why haven't any of those been replaced.

Answer 8

its like language, everyone learns in the school ten digits 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 so it is much more comfortable to make adding and other operations in decimal system then in binary.

Answer 9

because humans are more comfortable using decimal numbers

Answer 10

do u really think we r as dumb as the computer...
