Claude Shannon is a major figure in the history of technology. Known as the father of information theory, Shannon spent decades at Bell Labs and MIT. But what exactly did Claude Shannon figure out, and why is it so important?

David used Shannon’s work to make a breakthrough in wireless communication that underpins every phone call we make today.
