In telecommunications it originally referred to Morse code, literally the marks and spaces on a telegraph tape. More recently it was still used in various signaling to refer to encoded 1's and 0' in electronic transmissions like the old phone modem encoding (300 baud, 1200 baud, etc.). I'm not sure what the current state of the art is, since I haven't done anything that low-level since my course work 20 years ago.
