WHO IS THE AFRICAN FATHER OF THE INTERNET AS REFERRED BY CNN, NY TIMES? by afrinets(m): 12:12pm On Feb 15, 2008
A Nigerian in the United States was voted history's
greatest scientist (#1)
of African TIME: The "Unsung Hero" Behind the Internet
The father of lnternet as written by=
New York TIME magazine
and CNN



CNN calls him
''A FATHER OF THE INTERNET''



He speaks:
"Who is the
Father of the Internet?"
is like asking:
Who invented
the supercomputer
that gave rise to
the Internet.

In reality,
no one individual
invented the Internet alone.
It has many fathers,
as well as mothers,
uncles, and aunts.


It was not even born
at one place
or time.
Instead,
it grew organically and
incrementally,
following trails
that are non-intersecting.

Take the trail of 
whom CNN called
"A Father of the Internet."

He theorized
that 65,000 computers
around the Earth
could forecast the weather.
His theoretical supercomputer,
with 65,000 nodes,
is known today as the Internet.


Using 65,000 processors,
he invented a formula
that inspired
the reinvention of the supercomputer
as thousands of electronic brains
that occupies the space of
four tennis courts.


Bill Clinton explained,
in a televised speech
(as president)
that the internet father's formula
helped give rise
to the age of information.

Yet his invention is one that,
unfortunately,
few of us recognize.

Certainly,
inventions such as this
deserve better.
After all,
can you send your email
without computers and
the Internet
an descent, and the father of lnternet.

What is his name, and a link to comfirm his profile and more.
