Wasn’t there a report that two computers were discovered talking to each other in a made up language?

That is not at all possible.  Computers "talk" to one another using certain protocols.  In simple terms, computers need to know when to "talk" and when to "listen".  When computers "listen" they need to know what to do with the information that they have received and that is programmed.  A really basic example is say that you have computer A ask computer B what 2+2 is, when computer B gets the information it will calculate it, retrieve the answer and present it back to computer A.

The "language" that all computers and devices that communicate with them use is the binary number system.

We evolved from the simple 8-bit computer that was able to handle only 8 bits of information at a time, and programming was done using the octal numbering system in order to speed up programming the "1's and 0's" of the binary system.

From there we went to the hexadecimal system and went to being able to program 16 bits rather than just 8 bits at a time.

The process evolved further over the years to include 32 bit and 64 bit systems (see a pattern here?).

The bottom line is, a computer only understands "1's or 0's" and nothing more.

If this seems to be confusing to you, take a look at my signature and figure out exactly what it means.
