The title is misleading. It makes you think all this research happened at MIT.
- muneeb 12y agoFor example: #12 The PC (1973), this is Butler Lampson's work on Alto while at PARC. MIT (the university) had nothing to do with it. Also, #17 TCP/IP (1977), Bob Kahn was at MIT for 2 years or so a decade before working on TCP/IP. Including such things takes away attention from "pure" MIT inventions e.g., RSA (all of that work was done by Ron Rivest while at MIT).
- dang 12y agoThat's a fair point, and we edited the title accordingly.
