Bob Metcalfe, co-inventor of Ethernet, wins Turing Award

Bob Metcalfe, co-inventor of Ethernet, has won the Turing Award, which is often referred to as the “Nobel Prize of computing”.
Metcalfe and his colleague developed Ethernet at Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Institute (Xerox PARC), setting the stage for networking revolution.
Even if you’re not plugging an Ethernet cable directly into the wall, you’re still relying on this technology to get online.
The award is given by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
