The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He is particularly remembered for being one of the first to foresee modern-style interactive computing and its application to all manner of activities, and also as an Internet pioneer with an early vision of a worldwide computer network long before it was built.
- He did much to initiate this by funding research that led to significant advances in computing technology, including today's canonical graphical user interface, and the ARPANET, which is the direct predecessor of the Internet.
- Robert Taylor, founder of Xerox PARC's Computer Science Laboratory and Digital Equipment Corporation's Systems Research Center, noted that "most of the significant advances in computer technology, including the work that my group did at Xerox PARC, were simply extrapolations of Lick's vision.
