Cards (9)

  • In the late 1940s, engineer and mathematician Claude Shannon, who worked for the Bell Telephone Company, and scientist Warren Weaver created what they called ''A Mathematical Theory of Communication”
  • “A mathematical theory of communication” describes the five fundamental elements of communication as follows: a source, a transmitter, a channel, a receiver, and a destination.
  • The Shannon-Weaver model of communication is a model which describes the way information flows from a source to a destination.
  • Warren Weaver He is considered the first person to propose using electronic computers for the translation of natural languages.
  • Claude Elwood Shannon is known as "the father of information theory".
  • the SMCR Model of Communication was created by Warren Weaver and Claude Shannon in 1948. 
  • Shannon-Weaver model, They initially designed it as a linear model to explain how a message is sent and received.
