He helped to bring us the internet, personal computers, and the mouse which eventually led us to porn websites and learning how to surf the web with one hand in your pants. |
The first time I heard of him was at the university where I attended a class about computer history and the early years of cybernetics. We were watching a documentary by German director Lutz Dammbeck called
The Net from 2001. Robert Taylor has a guest appearance. He talks about his work on the ARPANET project and the original philosophy behind the internet. You can watch it
here from about 8:35.
