No such thing as 0
Discussion
It has occurred to me that there is no such thing as 0. You can't have 0 of something as that would imply that 0 is more than nothing. However if 0 is nothing then why don't we use this instead? Using a computer or programming would be much easier dealing with two states rather than 3.
Would anyone agree with me? Or have I got this wrong (possible but not probable)?

Eh?
0 is nothing, if you have 0 of something then you have none of it.
That's what I am saying. If you have 0 of something you have something of something. Why not just say you have either a minimal of 1 or nothing.0 is nothing, if you have 0 of something then you have none of it.
Also, maths.

add 312 to 402, show your workings.
Are you seriously trying to suggest that one of the most important and transformative mathematical concepts of the last 4000 years doesn't exist?
Actually can we keep zero but get rid of 312? It's a really annoying number and I don't think I ever use it.Are you seriously trying to suggest that one of the most important and transformative mathematical concepts of the last 4000 years doesn't exist?
