- jasode 4y ago>Why it takes this many years to be recognized, He was already recognized by various awards decades ago ... by other organizations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Metcalfe#Awards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Metcalfe#Awards The Turing Award from ACM has become another one. (Arguably, it's more prestigious than previous ones.)
- tyingq 4y agoHe does have quite a few other awards over the years. I suppose questioning why he didn't yet have a Turing award is reasonable. On the other hand, they only give out one a year, since 1986, so there's 37 total. I can see it being hard to assure that everyone that's deserved one has received one.
