the digital revolution

Hi all, i am Goutham ......firstly i thank CLAUDE SHANNON, father of information technology for his intuition ....to bringout such a digital revolution.

The digital revolution
To a generation of telephone engineers who recognized the waveform as both the medium and message, he came up with a radically new concept, which separated the medium from the message.
The nature of the message did not matter, it could be word, music and pictures. Ultimately it was the transmission of just 1s and 0s in binary form. This was startling notion to engineers who were accustomed to continuous waveforms.
He single handedly created todays digital revolution. without his intuition and sustained ability to work his way through intractable problems, email and the World Wide Web and all these would not have come into existence.
