    What happened to Claude Shannon?
    The bandwidth falls to zero. The extraordinary pattern of information processing that was Claude Shannon finally succumbed to the depredations of thermodynamic entropy in February 2001. But some of the signal generated by Shannon lives on, expressed in the information technology in which our own lives are now immersed.

    What did Claude Shannon write?
    Claude Shannon wrote a master’s thesis that jump-started digital circuit design, and a decade later he wrote his seminal paper on information theory, “A Mathematical Theory of Communication.” Next, Shannon set his sights on an even bigger target: communication. Communication is one of the most basic human needs.

    Why was Shannon important?
    In a sense, Shannon had provided a universal language for discussing information and uncertainty across domains. The bit became a common currency, a way of translating between different frames of reference. It was a powerful unifying concept that reshaped entire fields of science in the latter half of the 20th century.
