Definition

  • 1915–1990 Computer Scientist, Internet Pioneer There has long been a war of semantics, revolving around which of the early computing pioneers can justly be described as “the father of the Internet,” but the reality is that no one person invented it. However, it can safely be said that no one anywhere in the world dreamt of it before J. C. R. Licklider. [Source: Encyclopedia of New Media; Licklider, J. C. R.]
