If we wait long enough, we will also find out that Steve Jobs invented practically everything around us - the bits, the bytes, the electricity, atoms and molecules. Hack, he was the first fish out of the water that gave raise to the man kind millions of years later.

- alayne 13y agoJ.C.R. Licklider is an interesting character in computer development history, particularly for his involvement in the development of timesharing, networks, and personal computing.
