Information Theory: Technology Videos

This series tells the story of how humans learned to communicate and share information. You will go from early symbols and the alphabet to the Rosetta Stone, telegraphs, and Morse code. You will then see how scientists learned to measure information itself, which laid the groundwork for computers and the internet. It connects history, language, and technology. No background is needed, though later videos include some math.
