Wrong, anything digital uses base 2. It's just the nature of digital, there is either electricity or there is not. When you start measuring the level of the electricity, you enter the analog world.

Calculators typically use base 10 calculations, computers typically employ base 2. In base 2 the numbers here can't be represented exactly because each term in the binary sequence (1/(2^n)) can only get arbitrarily close to the number. In base 10 the number can be represented exactly.
