...and Al Gore??? Guderian insisted in 1933, within the high command, that every tank in the German armoured force must be equipped with radio- and visual equipment in order to enable each tank commander to communicate and perform a decisive role in blitzkrieg. Guderian Kenngruppenheft, Funk in jedem Panzer -> Hut 6 -> SAGE -> SRI - > Cerf "inspiration" --> Edward Bernays.

Without getting into what Al Gore may have said or meant, let me quote the following lovely little tidbit from Paul Ginsparg (who created arxiv.org). It's about physicist Ken Wilson, but Al Gore and Newt Gingrich make a fascinating appearance: "He [Wilson] was on the NSF taskforce that pushed for the implementation of the early NSFNet, and I was told by George Strawn (one of the people on the NSF side shepherding the process) that Ken was the key person who argued for using the TCP/IP (i.e., internet) protocol, rather than the DECnet protocol favored by many of the other physicists, and we know where that has led… (George also told me that the absolutely essential people who moved the NSFNet through the senate and house, respectively, were … Al Gore, Jr and Newt Gingrich)" http://quantumfrontiers.com/2013/06/18/we-are-all-wilsonians-now/comment-page-1/#comment-3645 http://quantumfrontiers.com/2013/06/18/we-are-all-wilsonians...

  BS. There is almost no conceptual difference between the two below, which would allow for any substantial credit in terms of innovation for the people you are mentioning. http://www.ilord.com/images/enigma-in-use-3-600px.jpg http://www.ilord.com/images/enigma-in-use-3-600px.jpg http://www.computerhistory.org/atchm//wp-content/uploads/2012/09/crop.jpg http://www.computerhistory.org/atchm//wp-content/uploads/201... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/82/Kenngruppenheft.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/82/Kenngrup... https://awarmanf.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/us-4.png https://awarmanf.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/us-4.png Concept of datagrams, encapsulation, Radio Identifiers (~ MAC/IP address) etc.: http://operationturing.tumblr.com/Enigma http://operationturing.tumblr.com/Enigma

    care to elaborate what was Cerf's & Co. crucial distinguishing insight?
