I guess it was just a matter time. When I first heard of on CNN earlier this week about the Internet Hall of Fame, I was like, “Eh?” But as I listened, it was interesting hearing about the people who contributed in one way or another to the many things that we take for granted, such as the creator of the “@” symbol which defines web life or designers of the TCP/IP protocols and architecture that form the foundation of the modern-day Internet. The site that pays honour says that it is a celebration of the people who bring the internet to life. Seriously, unless we are intimately in these fields, the names of these people, integral to the internet being what it is, would not be in the general eyes of the public. So I see it a fitting tribute to honour these people.

N.B. There are some names that you would expect to have been inducted, but they weren’t…as yet.
