The "Father of Information Theory" would have been 100 today

Nah... Word was only released in 1983!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I think my wife fed me a stupid pill again this morning, but I don't get your post? :-O
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!
Let me help you understand. Griff simply said Word (the Microsoft product) was released in 1983. The joke is that Mandeep was referring to actual words (like "cat" and "peanut"). And Mandeep was trying to say information was here long before "The father of Information Technology", in which Mandeep fails to understand that Shannon was the father of Information Technology, not just Information. All in all a pretty funny play on words (hah!) :D I don't know what pills you've been on, but luckily the internet is a friendly place with nice people who are willing to help without making you feel stupid :)

I think we must be on different Internets.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Or we're on the same and I'm just being sarcastic :D

Shannon was the father of Information Theory, not technology, there's a huge difference. As an Electrical Engineer I had to study his equations, and his theory was the cornerstone of modern thinking about information, close to E=MC2's impact in physics, and led to everything we're doing now! His theory opened the door to satellite communications and any form of digital communication that occurs, giving us a full understand of the properties of the communication channel. Good explanation here: Information theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[^]

There is also an awesome book by James Gleick called "The Information". A recommended read for everyone involved in information sciences. Shannon plays a huge role in it, of course.

Yeah, I misspoke/typed. I failed his subject three times at University :sigh:
In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.
