Top Award for Inventors of the Internet
The 2004 Turing Award, the so-called “Nobel Prize of Computing,” has been awarded to the inventors of the Internet — that is, to Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn, who developed the TCP/IP protocol that is the basis for all Internet communications (web, e-mail, etc.).
The $100,000 prize is sponsored by Intel and awarded by the Association for
Computing Machinery (ACM), the main professional organization for computer scientists.
