Big Endian was invented because someone really needed to know, right away, whether a number was positive or negative.
Little Endian was invented because someone really needed to know, right away, whether a number was even or odd.
This is how I'm going to explain "why is endianness a thing" to people that are new to binary stuff from now on.
