An email from someone on a related topic has reminded me of someone else yo= u
should make sure is only your list (not sure if you already have him):
J. C. R. Licklider; we lost him on June 26, 1990.

He didn't write much code himself, but the work of people he funded (e.= g.
Doug Engelbart, the ARPANet guys, Multics, etc, etc, etc) to work on his vision has led to today's computerized, information-rich world. For peo= ple who
only know today's networked world, the change from what came before, an= d thus
his impact on the world (since his ideas and the work of people he sponsore= d
led, directly and indirectly, to much of it), is probably hard to truly
fathom.

He is, in my estimation, one of the most important and influential computer=
scientists of all. I wonder how many computer science people had more of an=
impact; the list is surely pretty short. Babbage; Turing; who else?

Perhaps I've mentioned this short movie fr= om 1971 before, but it's well worth a watch: "Computer Networks: T= he Heralds of Resource Sharing" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DGjZ7ktIlSM0)

Licklider, Khan and other players from the early days= of the ARPAnet figure prominently. It's amazingly prescient.
