The search engine giant Google honors the father of information age, Claude Shannon on his birth anniversary through its Doodle. Shannon created the term “bit”, a short for binary digits. If Shannon been alive on April 30, 2016, he would have turned 100.
His most famous work is A Mathematical Theory of Communication (1949) in which he introduced information theory, the branch of mathematics focused on transmitting digital data.
Google celebrated the 100 birthday of Shannon with Doodle in which a cartoon Shannon is juggling, a reference to the juggling machines he built and his juggling on a unicycle in lab halls.
