In reality the head on the spinning metallic platter grooves an electric pulse of two different intensities corresponding to an arbitrary designation as On and Off - 0 and 1, “binary” is a more hip label.

The drive records an electric pulse that creates a tiny field, electro-magnetic coil, which is erasable

and re-recordable. The spinning platter, multiples are packed inside modern drives, dishes out millions of these tiny fields to create an almost endless combinations of transistors on the fly.

Clusters of these electro-magnetic imprints are sequenced in packets,

just as light is packets of photons, to create logical NAND and OR gates (transistors), millions of them - the basis of A.I. aka Artificial Intelligence.

Think of these On and Off coil imprints as switches and your computer is made of hard wired microchips that contain (each) millions of tiny transistors which in tandem with the “fluid”, erasable transistors work together through logic gates and Boolean Algebra structures to turn on and off pixels on your LCD screen, display text, resolve complex mathematical operations, display a series of images at 30 frames per second and operate your audio speakers.

If you have seen the 1961 The Absent Minded Professor movie, some scenes

underscore the age of automation and electronics with multiple mechanical contraptions; or recent movies such as Wild Wild West with Will Smith and Kevin Kline where mechanical levers and actuators such as cams and gears (lots of them) are working in tandem to produce an “automated” effect equivalent to modern day technological marvels - then you have seen a similar visual mechanical representation of how all he electro-magnetic switches inside your computer are arrayed to produce all the results from the various programs and applications it is running. Lots and lots of On and Off switches and levers, initiated by micro electric currents, millions of them per second, to give you the result your computer outputs on your LCD screen.
