Hey, do you know who is this and why he is here?
He is here because he is the actual inventor of the Internet and also known as one of the 'fathers of the Internet'
His name is Vinton Cerf and he invented the Internet along with three others namely Lawrence Roberts, Leonard Kleinrock, Robert Kahn.
However, we strongly believe that Al Gore is the inventor of the Internet-right?
Wrong obviously.
But how we were given to understand that Al Gore invented the Internet? Who is responsible for this wrong information?
Imagine how Vinton would have felt whenever he saw Vinton's name instead of his name in the papers as the Inventor of the Internet. Did he lodge a protest? Why Al Gore did not deny the news reports?
Vinton is actually a Computer Engineer. He is credit with several awards including National Medal of Technology.
Incidentally, he had worked for Google as Vice President.
