Why Information is Logarithmic: Hartley’s 1928 Insight

-
 In 1928, a researcher at Bell Labs named Ralph Hartley published a paper that would change the world. At the time, "information" was a vague, psychological concept that we couldn't measure. The transition from that to the current field of information theory has been exponential. Out of curiosity I went back and read "Transmission of Information" by Hartley.

First of all, there is a lot of shouting and messiness. Second of all, we always like have it really loud outside in our backyard. Its really annoying too. Then, me and my brother are always getting into fights and one of the parents have to shout at Nitin or me but they dont know which one started it. So they basically blame one of us. I have no time to give you an example so let me just say these three things. And I want you to remember these three things. Fighting, noisiness and messiness. So that was the third part of my blog. For now.
