I don\u2019t know about you, but I am perfectly content to be living in a base-ten number world, with the ten represented by a one followed by a zero. And it was not a foregone conclusion. We could be living in a base-twenty world, like the ancient Mayan, Aztec, Celtic, and Germanic peoples (remnants of which groupings by twenty survive in some modern European counting systems). Or a base-sixty world, like the Babylonians. Or, we could be using base ten but still be lumbering along in lengthy strings of Roman numerals, with nary a zero to be seen. And the computer would never have been born.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eachdayisacelebration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/CakeGreen1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3058\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" title=\"CakeGreen\" src=\"https:\/\/eachdayisacelebration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/CakeGreen1.png\" alt=\"CakeGreen\" width=\"125\" height=\"123\" \/><\/a>Peter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Somewhere in the world there must be a person turning ten years old on this day, perhaps even someone actually born at 10:10 in the morning.
