TDM Messes Up Name Of Event. Reveals A Lot About An Important Person.
TDM apparently ‘messed up’ the naming of an upcoming event on Friday. I got this message on Facebook regarding the correction you can now see on their site.
An excerpt of the mail is reflected below:
Vint is NOT the only father of the internet but the one of the creators of the underlying technology which the Internet today is based on. We understand the Vint is not too happy with the particular vocabulary and would very much prefer for it indicate him as part of a group of great people who revolutionized our world.
He feels that credit for the Internet needs to go to more people than just himself and this creates difficulties when others who helped in the Internet’s creation read these kinds of things.
I don’t know why but this struck me as particularly jarring with what I’m commonly used to in Singapore.
