Signal to noise ratio is when signal is what you want to hear while noise is stuff that’s not the signal. When it comes to telephony, signal is the voice while noise is electrical noise and turns to static. The further the signal will go, the worse the problems get.

In English, the “U” following the letter “O” has no uncertainty and thus contains no information; if there’s a “q”, there’s always a “u.” English is full of redundancy, the redundancy can be quantified and subject to rules or algorithmic processes.

The Federal government directly funded a very wide range of military tools such as radars, jet engines, rockets, test studies, field studies and required top secret administration. Vannevar Bush, an American engineer, created analog computers that will soon be replaced by Lee DeForest, the inventor of the vacuum tube that will become electric computers. The audion computers allows amplification and variable output. Soon after Tim Berners-Lee inventor of the web browser that will be installed on every computer that allows freely exchanged, navigable and accessible of the new technology.

I personally am in the middle when it comes to labeling my self as either an idealist or a realist because I have no religious beliefs yet I do believe their has to be an ideal of some sort to make everything worth living for.

Bells Labs developed many important products such as data networking,communication satellites and my favorite cellular telephone technology. Without this technology our computers wouldn’t be able to exchange data, no signals for TV’s & telephones or being able to call, text or get news in matter of seconds. Theses few of many gadgets from Bells Labs started
