 bstract:\n\nThe unfolding of the Information Age has led to a plethora of 
 products and services enriching our lives and skyrocketing world economy. 
 This advancement in telecommunications has been driven by both hardware an
 d software. The circuit complexity\, as portrayed by the number of transis
 tors on the silicon chip\, continues to double every 24 months as pointed 
 out by Moore’s law. On the other hand\, the communication bandwidth had 
 doubled every 18 months. This meteoric increase in bandwidth has been made
  possible by three key developments over the last 60 years. The first of t
 hese was the demonstration of the point‐contact bipolar transistor in 19
 47 by Bardeen\, Brattain and Shockley which started the solid‐state revo
 lution. This was followed by the demonstration of the MOS Field‐Effect
 ‐Transistor by Kahng and Atalla in 1960. The second key contributor to t
 his bandwidth explosion was the development of Information Theory as enunc
 iated by Claude Shannon in 1948. Once in place\, this provided a firm theo
 retical underpinning to understand the trade‐offs between signal‐to‐
 noise ratio\, bandwidth and error‐free transmission in the presence of n
 oise. The third key development which ignited this fire was the invention 
 of laser by Schawlow and Townes in 1958 with a working demonstration in 19
 60. Serious efforts to transform this understanding into high‐performanc
 e lightwave systems started by the designing of integrated electronics usi
 ng MOS technology around 1980. However\, initial attempts at boosting rece
 iver sensitivity and data‐rates was seriously hampered by a lack of unde
 rstanding of the noise performance of the MOS device. Speaker’s contribu
 tions in this area not only led to a deeper understanding of the noise beh
 avior of MOS devices but also produced an order of magnitude improvement i
 n their performance. This set the stage for MOS to become the technology o
 f choice for lightwave and now lowcost wireless terminal applications. The
  ubiquitous nature of cell phones is a testimony to these key developments
  in the early 80’s. In this talk\, starting from smoke signals at millib
 its per second\, we will trace these events from a historical perspective 
 to see how these key technologies lead to the development of modern wirele
 ss and optical networks of terabit capacity with petabits looming in sight
