Claude Elwood Shannon Warren Weaver
Claude E Shannon, an engineer at Bell Telephone Laboratories & Warren Weaver worked together on an article titled The Mathematical Theory of Communication (1949). Quickest & most efficient way to get a message from one point to another. How communication messages could be converted into electric signals most efficiently? How these signals could be transmitted with minimum error? Mechanical & Mathematical model.
Message transmission involves sending information through electronic signals. Information defined as ‘a measure of one’s freedom of choice when one selects a message’. Communication broadly defined as ‘all of the procedures by which one mind may affect another’.
