Shannon will take care of me

Impact of Prof. Claude Shannon (link to Wikipedia HERE) work is so deep and diversified... It reaches almost any knowledge branch where "information" can be somehow measured.

I recently found a particularly useful and interesting application in the following paper:

R. Quax; B.D. Kandhai and P.M.A. Sloot: Information dissipation as an early-warning signal for the Lehman Brothers collapse in financial time series, Scientific Reports, vol. 3, 2013.

We can measure these (complex) dynamics and even predict their impact. The key issue for me is also a measure of immediacy.
