商品描述

Computers are the foundation of the information age, but communication technology is the foundation of the foundation. Without the theories and practical applications of theory brought to us by the pioneers of communication, the computer age would perhaps have remained in the back office, hidden away as infrastructure like electricity or running water - critical to modern life, but not as transforming as the combination of communications and computing. The information age exploded once machines were endowed with the ability to talk among themselves. The Signal connects everything to everything else, in both communication, and in the metaphorical sense as the link between and among people.

Features

  • Identifies the key ideas underlying modern communications technology, and documents the contributions of its inventors

  • Explores the signal in communication, and also in the metaphorical sense as the link between and among people

  • Leads the reader through a journey from ancient number systems to Voyager II to radio and MP3s to quantum cryptography

  • Includes coverage of "Signals from Hell," including memes and "fake news" on the Internet

  • Looks to the future of communication, with emergent 5G

商品描述(中文翻譯)

電腦是資訊時代的基礎，但通訊技術則是基礎的基礎。如果沒有通訊先驅所帶來的理論和實際應用，電腦時代或許仍然會隱藏在後台，像電力或自來水一樣作為基礎設施，對現代生活至關重要，但卻不如通訊與計算的結合那樣具變革性。一旦機器具備了彼此溝通的能力，資訊時代便爆炸性地來臨了。信號將一切連結到其他一切，無論是在通訊上，還是在隱喻意義上作為人與人之間的聯繫。

特色


  • 識別現代通訊技術的關鍵理念，並記錄其發明者的貢獻

  • 探索通訊中的信號，以及在隱喻意義上作為人與人之間的聯繫

  • 引導讀者從古代數字系統到旅行者二號，再到無線電和MP3，最後到量子密碼學的旅程

  • 包括對「來自地獄的信號」的報導，包括網路上的迷因和「假新聞」

  • 展望通訊的未來，聚焦於新興的5G技術
