J.C. R. Licklider. We think we know the people behind the digital revolution, but in reality, we know the people standing on the shoulders of those who created the digital revolution.
For this paper you will be assigned a digital revolutionary and will write a three page biography of this person, J.C. R. Licklider. Your assignment must include the following:
1. Basic biography of where born, schools attended, places worked.
2. Main claim to digital fame. Although most digital pioneers were doing many amazing things, and you can certainly mention them, each person you are assigned has one major claim to fame.
3. A lay person’s explanation of this claim to fame. As you will find, most of the pioneers were Ph.D.s who worked on topics that are complicated. Your job is to put what was accomplished in lay terms for the average person to understand.
4. How this achievement has contributed to digital media today.
You need a minimum of three sources. This paper should be done in MLA style with a Works Cited (not Bibliography or References) and proper in-text citation. You may NOT use Wikipedia. This is not a cut-and-paste job. You should do careful research and write this in your own words referencing your sources.
The grade for this paper will encompass not just the content, but the way the paper was written and the sources used.
