DESCRIPTION:The Bit Player is a documentary film created to celebrate the 2
 016 centenary of the birth of Claude Shannon\, the "father of information 
 theory."\n\nIn a blockbuster paper in 1948\, mathematician Claude Shannon 
 introduced the notion of a "bit" and laid the foundation for the informati
 on age. His ideas ripple through nearly every aspect of modern life\, infl
 uencing such diverse fields as communication\, computing\, cryptography\, 
 neuroscience\, artificial intelligence\, cosmology\, linguistics\, and gen
 etics. This documentary tells the story of an overlooked genius who revolu
 tionized the world\, but never lost his childlike curiosity.\n\nPrinceton 
 ACM / IEEE Computer Society has arranged for a screening of this 90-minute
  film at the Princeton Garden Theater. We will also have a distinguished p
 anel to discuss the film as well as Claude Shannon's life and work. The pa
 nel will consist of three Princeton University professors: William Bialek\
 , Vincent Poor\, and Christopher Sims.\n\nADMISSION CHARGE FOR THE FILM --
