In today's digital landscape, students often engage with coding, artificial intelligence, and various communication tools without realizing the profound historical shifts that made these advancements possible. Before the advent of Wi-Fi, smartphones, and even the digital computers we rely on today, there was a time when the concept of measuring information was virtually nonexistent. This changed dramatically in 1948, thanks to a pivotal paper by a 32-year-old researcher at Bell Labs, titled A Mathematical Theory of Communication. Although initially met with skepticism, this work is now recognized as the cornerstone of the digital age.
