We can tell you there are, indeed, more elaborate means of doing calculations which is the bedrock process for storing and displaying information. Your description of using only zeros and ones to comprise anything and everything needing to be considered and operated on for exchange of knowledge, and to provide instructions to carry out many operations in business, healthcare, education, and so on, shows that while versatile, this binary approach is simplistic. The fact that it works does not mean it is the best and only way to program instructions, only that it is simple to understand and therefore versatile because many people can learn to work with that approach and do the coding needed to make things go.
At the same time, by virtue of its simplicity, this implies there are huge inefficiencies because of the many iterative steps that must be done in a series of looping counting operations in order to create decision trees to translate stored data into a more understandable format, and to have programming language that functions like a human instruction that enables a complex process to go forth and be implemented by perhaps many subsidiary devices that are connected in a kind of network. That huge redundancy and inefficiency of the mass digital operations required, even for simple programs, means there is a need for time for this to be accomplished and a need for significant amounts of energy because of the inefficiency and its wastefulness.
This has been a struggle all along in the computer field, the desire for greater and greater information storage capacity and the ability to carry out facile operations with lightning speed and do things unimaginable a generation ago, for example, mathematical calculations that are at the limits of human capability to even conceive, let alone carry out in a lifetime. Such operations, being non-trivial to the human perspective, are still daunting to the human-level technology provided by your current computers even though they have made quantum leaps from the early beginnings of the technological field, but this by no means indicates you are at a ceiling. The need for more speed and power and the heat generated has created a whole series of advancing technologies to cope with these complications. But even though today’s machines are blazingly fast compared to even ten years ago, there is a desire to continue optimization because the demands have grown so in wanting to digitize everything and to interconnect everything via the Internet to simplify and streamline all that is done in the human culture.
The reason there have not been advances to break out from the binary approach is that humans are constrained through mind control manipulation to discount such ideas and to discourage innovators and misdirect them away from making advances, and if something is conceived it will be thwarted in some way to discredit it or sideline the innovator and, if necessary, take their life to prevent an advance that would benefit humanity hugely—that has been the course of history all along in every field of endeavor. You could be more efficient and have a greater impact for the better in every field of human endeavor without this overlay of suppression.
