The Binary Telephone
By K. Manning
Communications Advice Bureau, London
A new discovery that, we think, makes telephones much easier to use. Instead of a complicated 0-9 numbering system, here we have a mobile telephone in the binary system. Simple to use, worry free, and no need to remember a long string of 11 random digits. The HELP button is always available for teething troubles, and in case you get caught out in the wrong base.
List of useful numbers:
- Speaking clock: 1111011
- Operator: 11100110101100110
- Police: 1111100111
- Dial-a-pizza: 100101001000010000001101
- Maths helpline: 10001110000000010110111111101010010
