Modern computer programming would be impossible without Boolean algebra. It is the absolute bedrock of all computer logic.

Every 'if' statement you write is a Boolean expression. `if (userIsLoggedIn && userHasAdminRights)`.

The code inside the 'if' block will only execute if the entire Boolean expression evaluates to TRUE.

The 'AND' (`&&`) operator requires both conditions to be true.

The 'OR' (`||`) operator requires at least one of the conditions to be true.

The 'NOT' (`!`) operator inverts the result. `!userIsLoggedIn` is true only if the user is not logged in.

Programmers use these simple operators to build incredibly complex decision-making trees in their software.

This is called 'flow control.' It dictates what the program does in response to different conditions.

Understanding Boolean algebra properties, like De Morgan's Laws, allows programmers to simplify complex 'if' statements and write more efficient code.

At the hardware level, every logic gate in a CPU is a physical manifestation of a Boolean operation. It is the soul of the machine.
