We proudly present an IEEE foundation video documentary entitled: “The Bit Player“. One of Michigan’s famous sons, but not many Michiganders know about him – Indeed few know about Claude Shannon the creator of the "Information Theory". You will learn more about him and at the same time get a refresher on the mankind changing impact Claude Elmwood Shannon made on the world today. This documentary was made in 2018 and brought to you by the IEEE Foundation who partially funded this along with the IEEE Information Theory Society. The trailer for this 90-minute video is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3OldEtfBrE&authuser=0
AFTER the movie – we can have a brief discussion session. NOTE: You must supply your own soda pop and popcorn! 🙂
Trivia may also follow, so bring your Jeopardy hats too
