Given the extraordinary impact of his work, both directly and indirectly, on the world at large, I can’t imagine the USPS would neglect to honor him with a centennial commemorative stamp.
I’d certainly endorse him for a stamp, but do consider that as an ironic consequence of his work, the need for stamps has significantly declined in the past two decades. I hope there’s still a need for stamps by the time his centenary arrives in 2016 just so I’ll be able to use one!

He certainly deserves a centennial stamp. It is unfortunate that the general public is not aware of him or his contributions.

Claude Shannon is an awesome dude and he deserves a stamp after him.
