Connected Earth: Vint Cerf (born 1943)

Vinton Gray Cerf was co-designer of the mechanisms known as TCP/IP that enabled the Internet’s capability to be used by >everybody.

Cerf dreamt of becoming a scientist as a ten year-old boy in California, after being inspired by the book ‘The Boy Scientist’. He hooked up with Bob Kahn to develop the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and, a little later, the Internet Protocol (IP) as well.
