ELI5: Boolean Algebra

Since it's George Boole's 200th birthday and he has been honoured by a Google Doodle, can someone explain the Google graphic to me in terms of Boolean Algebra and how it relates to computing today?

Can we represent logical expressions in algebraic equations? If we think of algebra and mathematics as an abstraction of logic, then absolutely. 

Boole broke down logic into two cases. True and false. He then recognized the logical operations, and, or, and not. As in "if Jimmy is hungry and it's lunchtime, he eats lunch." Eating lunch is true if the case that he is hungry AND it is lunchtime are true. 

What's so cool is that very complex operations, including math itself, can be broken down into logical statements of true and false and the logical operations. Around the 1920s we figured out we could use circuits to represent logic, and then use boolean algebra to design those circuits. Now we have super computers.
