Shannon’s first publication was about how you could use relays to compute all sorts of different functions or make machines that would do a lot of interesting things. And this was the first paper that systematically made a mathematical or a logical representation of how relays could be assembled into... of what collections of relays could do if they were connected in various ways. And to this day, people use that particular way to represent electrical circuits and theories and... I remember once looking up the paper in… in the journal and the paper next to it was reporting the invention of the fluorescent light bulb. So, here you have... in the middle of this rather thick Institute of Radio Engineers magazine… electrical engineering magazine, there’s the paper by Claude Shannon which – in a sense – led to the modern theory of computers and the next article was how to make this light bulb which eventually replaced most of the light bulbs in the world. I wonder if anybody... I’ve always been meaning to go back and look this up and see if there were three or four other world changing articles in that very same issue.
