 Vint Cerf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vinton Gray Cerf (born June 23, 1943 in New Haven, Connecticut) is an American computer scientist who is commonly referred to as the "father of the Internet" for his key technical and managerial role in the creation of the Internet and the TCP/IP protocols which it uses.
He was also the founder (in 1992) of the Internet Society (ISOC), which is intended to both promote the views of ordinary users of the Internet, and also serve as an umbrella body for the technical groups developing the Internet (such as the Internet Engineering Task Force).
Shortly thereafter, in 1973, Bob Kahn (whom Cerf already knew, since Kahn had been in charge of the ARPANET project at its prime contractor, Bolt, Beranek and Newman) and Cerf started thinking about how to connect together several different packet switching networks, into what we now call an internetwork.

Cerf's specialty was already Computer Science --- then considered by most to be a quirky subcategory of math or electrical engineering.
In 1965, MIT researcher Lawrence G. Roberts and Thomas Merrill made the first interstate connection of computers by telephone line: these experiments proved that any grand computer network would have to communicate by swapping "packets" of data, rather than passing single bits of data at the circuit level.

It's pretty hard to top the moniker "Father of the Internet," but Vinton G. Cerf, senior vice president of Internet architecture and technology for WorldCom, is working on it.
In 1973, Cerf, an assistant professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Stanford University, began working with Bob Kahn, a DARPA engineer, on ways to link different packet-switched networks together.
Each packet of data on the network is like a postcard—there is a "to" and "from" address, a finite space for information and the possibility they will arrive at their destination in a different order than they were sent or not at all.
