Key Points Evaluation

Claude Shannon Claude Shannon is an information theory
pioneer

Shannon-Weaver Information- source produces a message sent

to a transmitter
Communication
Model Flow Transmitter- transforms the message into the
right form

The message is now in proper form (signal) for

transmission
The signal is transmitted through the channel

Channel- is anyway the message passes

through

During transmission, the signal is affected by

noise
Noise is anything that lowers the signal quality
and it also produces misunderstanding.

Receiver- it receives the signal and transforms

the signal back into the message

Destination- the person to whom the message

is sent

Summary
Claude Shannon is an information theory pioneer
and one of the creators of the Shannon- weaver
communication model. In the flow of the
Shannon-weaver communication model, the
information is the first that takes place because it
is the source that produces a message that is
going to be sent to a transmitter. The transmitter
will transform the message into the right form
which is called a signal. The channel also is
anyway the message passes through. during
transmission, there is a noise that affects the
signal quality of a message. The receiver receives
the signal and put it back into the message and
the destination is the person to whom the
message is sent.
