Messaging and Signals

When we have information to share, we communicate. The development of signals from signs visible over short distances to wireless transfer worldwide of billions of data-heavy messages is full of surprising characters. None more so than the Hollywood starlet who made Wi-Fi and GPS possible, only receiving public recognition near the end of her life. This lecture traces the development of technologies for messaging and signals, from wireless to wired and back again.
