Once you realize that entropy (disorder) and information capacity are one and the same (thanks, Claude Shannon), this is a completely logical connection to make

Once you realize that entropy (disorder) and information capacity are one and the same (thanks, Claude Shannon), this is a completely logical connection to make. I hope I have chance to read through the notes at some point. This might be in there already, but it would be fun to see a worked example calculating the maximum practical storage density for a magnetic medium, taking into account the potential for thermal energy to flip bits as the domains get smaller and smaller, but counteracting that with error correction ...
