Another look at Email
There is an article at Living Internet about the history of email. An interesting quote:
Commercial Email. In 1989, MCI Mail and Compuserve provided the first commercial electronic mail connection to the Internet through the Corporation for the National Research Initiative (CNRI) and Ohio State University respectively.
Does anyone else know of other early comercial implementations of email? -
Re:Leonard KleinrockHere is his bio which seems to leave no doubt as to who he thinks invented packet switched networking. Of course in 1961 he would still have been in grad school.
According to The Living Internet (which seems to be as good a museum as any of the others mentioned):
Packet switching is a wonderful idea first discovered by Leonard Kleinrock, and then independently by Paul Baran and Donald Davies. This independent development, within just a few years, suggests that packet switching is a fundamental idea that wanted to be discovered.
