Michigan-Adjacent History Trivia -
Claude Shannon, a kid from Gaylord, Michigan, helped make modern computing possible by showing that George Boole’s 19th-century Boolean algebra could be built into electrical circuits using simple on/off switching. In his 1937 master’s thesis at MIT, Shannon demonstrated how logical operations such as AND, OR, and NOT could be represented physically in relay and switching circuits. Later, through his work at Bell Telephone Laboratories, those ideas helped shape the practical design of digital systems. We still use that same Boolean logic today in computer circuits, programming, and coding
For those familiar with the binary digit, his master's thesis introduced binary theory... over "1011001" years ago (that's 89 years in binary). Shannon is still often called the father of information theory and, by many, the father of the Information Age.
