- The digital world is fast moving and complex...or is it?
It turns out that everything in our information age - from email, to facebook, skype and TH-cam, is all based on the most simple of ideas.
Watch our latest video essay to find out what that is.

I keep coming back to watch this doc, I find it so inspiring I never grow tired of it. It's the same feeling as when I was a little kid and asked for the same story over and over.
I know what you mean, I was so disappointed when it ended
for me too, i keep coming and waching this and the long game series too, i ever get inspiration
This production quality is amazing
Totally true
There is a huge difference between this work and the more recent ones, it is more insightful. The flow of ideas is consistent through figures, shapes, examples and metaphors. There is so much detail, and the directing and story telling are wonderful. Thanks for the time and effort Adam.
My uni teacher of systemic recommended this video to us saying it was one of the best and most simple out there for understanding the basic principles of Shannon, she was right this is really well done.
QUALITY. Love the way these stories are told!
Thanks! This one took a loonng time.
this channel is grossly underrated
Such a palatable arc here. So good.
It's worth noting that Shannon's main line of work was not proving that information can be perfectly encoded! He did all of this as a side work from his main line of work at Bell Labs and he did it at 21 years old! He was definitely beyond remarkable. Nice video, it was a nice recap to one of my favourite stories about scientific discoveries.
Awsome!!! As an Electrical Engineer, I am grateful for people Like Shannon for his contributions to communication!
You NEED more views. It's not fair that you should have less than a thousand subscribers, while you get 30 million from screaming at a video game 40 minutes a day.
On the contrary; it is a testament to the rare and precious in life. There are at least 100s of million of average performers out there for any given skill or job. Out of approx 7 billion people, there are only thousands of people out there who are so far beyond their fellow man, you and I should feel privileged to even know they exist. Quality, not quantity my dear watson; QUALITY.
Timur Khan I've never seen that sentiment so wonderfully put. Here here!
Timur Khan I prefer quality in performance and quantity in viewership. At least for the content creators who produce this high-quality material. To argue that we should feel privileged because we can see what others don't just seems selfish. Surely, we should do our best to share these videos and let as many as possible in on our little "secret", delve's videos?
Our privilege (you/me/viewers) is a result of our pursuit to enlighten ourselves by seeking out the extraordinary, hence confirming our own personal ability to transcend the average. There is no secret to be had, nor selfish intent in the diffusion of knowledge. Let those who gorge on a smorgasbord of LiEs and DeCePtIOn continue their feast of mortality. Let those who DELVE beyond what the eyes can see, satiate their appetites with the fruits of Knowledge and Life.
Now you're beginning to sound like a scientologist or something :S _"our pursuit to enlighten ourselves", "a smorgasbord of LiEs and DeCePtIOn"_
I rarely subscribe to anything, but your videos are definetly worth it. I hope you get more recognition. Best of luck.
Claude Shannon, one of the brightest mind of the past century with John Von Neumann, Alan Turing and Norbert Wiener
Love your videos, need more !! :D
My career owes so much to this man. I only heard of him yesterday. An example of how much we don't know sometimes.
I'm a retired electronic engineer and many decades ago (late 80's?), I attended a conference at which Shannon was the guest speaker (along with his wife Betty), where I had the privilege of shaking his hand. During his address he said he was honoured to be invited and he made everyone laugh when he admitted he couldn't understand a word in any of the other papers.
This is so beautiful! Claude Shannon will probably be smiling seeing how is invention is taking his story to the world, thank you Adam, your video does justice in hnouring his contribution
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more ! The visual aspect makes it not just entertaining, but helps retain the info too !
Just discovered ur what seems to like brand new utube channel via 9gagtv and all i can say is i love it and id love to see more!
Your work is of such a high quality, i'd like to see more from you. I love your artstyle and your way of telling your story is very intelligent/beautifull. Thanks for the Time.
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. Every bit seems to be exactly where it's supposed to be ;).
Holy shit! you made a new video!
I love you!
Also FIRST!
Those were my same thoughts!
Your videos are so, so good! I wish you all the hits, likes, "whatevers" it takes to support this good use of a platform like youtube and the information we have nowadays.
I hope you make many more - I'll be watching!
Just subscribed. Keep up the good work and many more will enjoy it!
I love how you explain things SO much, I'm going to help you make this go viral, to 9gag.tv!
Brilliant work mate...love your videos. Keep them coming.
Awesome video. We should all be thankful to Shannon. Touched my heart while watching. You've got a new subscriber.
Your way to tell these stories is amazing... pretty much up there in quality with @Kurzgesagt and @CGPGrey this channel needs more exposure
The Spanish subtitles for this video appear to be incorrect by claiming that the date of publication for Shannon's paper is 1949 when the audio clearly says "nineteen forty-eight". Wikipedia agrees with the 1948 date.
If it's TH-cam's automatically generated subtitles, then they're full of all sorts of interesting and amusing mistakes.
It's still a work-in-progress.
I applaud you for creating quality and interesting work. You have my attention at every new video release.
Another beautiful piece of work.
I can't wait for your next video!
Just subscribed to this channel - amazing and interesting videos backed up with lot's of sources!
I could imagine these as documentaries, would really love to watch and learn more :)
I have always thought that Shannon is someone the public should know more of. Just because it will give them a more accurate idea of the field of science. I bet there are kids growing up (and adults too) who think that Neil deGrasse Tyson is the most important scientist in the world. While science communicators play an important role in science, I think its important that people know the real minds behind the ideas that provided crucial steps forward in humanity's development.
well stated. Isn't it also fascinating that the hardware and software origins of the digital revolution started in the same year
@@emmanueloluga9770 I bet there are heaps of others that I don't know who have provided crucial ideas - do you have anyone that you think really deserves to be known more? I only know of Shannon from my undergrad studies in EE.
The most underappreciated engineer in history.
Bravo!!! Encore!!
Great work on all of your videos!
you've earn my sub and like for all 3 videos. do continue making more of these
amazing work and video! So educative :) thanks for sharing!!
Great videos.
Are you still making them?
thank you for your videos. So much inspiration and information. I love them very much.
Beautiful video!
Fantastic video! Can anyone please tell me the name of the music beginning in min 05:14? I don't think it's in the credits and I love it. Thanks a lot!!
James Brett is the composer and it's called Mountain Flight - you can buy it online :)
More videos, please!
I knew that transistors were great already, but I didn't know they were this great
Great video again!
If you liked this video and would like to see the whole story, I heartily recommend how I was introduced to Claude Shannon:

What is the song that starts at 3:17?
these videos are really good keep it up
Me parecieron geniales los videos, espero que sigan subiendo más. ¡Gracias!
The only thing I’ll say is the flickering night be too much for some at the start. Otherwise: faultless.
This is it. im definitely a subscriber.. Amazing video essay sir.
Awesome videos! :) Thank you
@ 3:29 there should be there 2001:Space Odyssey music playing. But I digress,,,
Excellent!
Hey, your work is very motivational and so nice.. Keep it up (y)
Fantastic. Thanks.
love your work
Keep Telling Us Stories😊
really good job , thank you
What is that song which appears in 0:45 - 1:10 and the again 3:20 - 4:55? Please, I'm searching for it for two days now.
It's in the credits - James Brett is the composer and it's called Mountain Flight - you can buy it online :)
Thak you! It was clear to me that it is from James Brett, I went through a lot of his music, but just could not find it. BTW, as an electronic mixed signal engineer, I know Shannon very well and we all can thank him...not only computers, but almost everything electronic today is based on his work.
absolutely brilliant video!
Great channel
Beautiful bro
This is really great ...keep making more videos i love it :)
Looove your videos!
in fact if TV had more like you I'd watch TV, clever, funny great narration camera work and editing! wish you all the very best! keep on keeping on - xoxox you deserve the very best!
support from Bosnia :)
keep the good work
great videos! keep up the good work! play the long game.
This is great, keep it up!
that increase is resolution and color with increase in bits is wrong . (coz resolution do not increase)
Tercer comentario en español me gustó cómo pudo hacer eso solo manteniendo ese orden y como podemos hacer más cosas de esa manera
Excelente!!!
Holy shit this was great. Glad I found ur channel.
Amazing video! Although it seems like you're accrediting Shannon with the invention of binary, or representing arbitrary data as bits. This idea has been kicking around for about 500 years.
AWESOME VIDOES KEEP IT UP
Great History
One of the best !!!! Woow
love it ! give us more!
Subscribed!
wow, I didn't know this guy before...
Claude Shannon did not invent the "1" and "0", that was George Boole in the 1850s.
excellent presentation
If this were a school essay, I'd give you an A+^256
Mathematics has been man best friend
why i almost cried lol
I like that you're English and yet your coin to toss is a Euro. :)
very good video. but the irony besides the man who solve the misstory of information(CLaude Shannon) suffering from a kind of information loss(alzheimer) is tha the real irony at 5:13 you think of the worlds'smost famous scientist isntead of thinking of Gorge Boole
I can’t think of anyone else who impacted the digital age with just a pad and pencil. Oh I mean I guess Turing....
