Bitcoin Forum

Part of our economic development is the use of technology. The use of internet, gadgets and appliances are part of our daily lives. We are all part of technological advancement and many of us benefits well by the technology. Technology plays a vital role in our society and economy. Being part of the society, people needs to adapt! People needs to cope up with such advancement! We continuously using of cellphones as our communication and games, collecting various information in the internet and performing daily task and job the help of technology. We are capable to work easily because of technology. We are using it but I know that many of us don't know the people behind our future.

I gather some information based on the people behind our technology and I wanted them to acknowledge because there discoveries and inventions lead to the welfare of our society. Without their sacrifices, we are still ignorant as of now. I want to give a gratitude for:

Vinton Gray Cerf - Father of Internet
Cerf is an American internet pioneer, who is recognized as one of the fathers of internet, sharing this title with TCP/IP co-inventor Bob Kahn. His contributions have been acknowledged and lauded, repeatedly, with honorary degrees and awards that include the National Medal of Technology, the Turing Award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Marconi Prize and membership in the National Academy of Engineering.
Timothy John Berners-Lee - Father of World Wide Web
also known as TimBL, is an English engineer and computer scientist, best known as the inventor of the World Wide Web. He is currently a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Oxford.
Marty Cooper - Father of the mobile phone
Cooper filed a patent for the 'radio telephone system' in 1973, while working at Motorola, and was the first person to make a call on a portable cell phone.
Tony Fadell - Father of iPod
Fadell had an idea, pitched it around, was hired by Apple and the rest is history. He started as an outside consultant, became the first member of Apple's iPod hardware engineering team in 2001, and is now senior vice president of the iPod Division.
John Backus - Father of FORTRAN
The former IBM computer scientist developed FORTRAN (Formula Translator) in the 50s. FORTRAN is considered the world's first widely used computer programming language.
Vic Hayes - Father of Wi-Fi
Hayes is a Dutch-born electrical engineer who worked at NCR Corp. and later Agere. He's known less for technological wizardry than for his diplomatic skills. As chairman of the IEEE 802.11 working group for wireless LANs, he was instrumental in developing the standards that led to the success of 802.11 wireless LANs. Today, he is Senior Research Fellow at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands.
John Cioffi - Father of DSL
Is a Stanford professor who was intent on coming up with a way to deploy broadband over copper wires and developed asymmetrical digital subscriber line (DSL) technology. He left Stanford in 1991 to found Amati Communications Inc.
James Gosling - Father of Java
Canada-born Gosling was born to code. While working on a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Carnegie-Mellon, he wrote a multiprocessor version of Unix. At Sun, he is credited with inventing the Java programming language in 1991.

Thank you for making our life more easily, we owe a great debt to you. You are the foundations of the development of our economy.

The men behind our future is when we found someone  to our lifetime partner to build a no achieve our future someday,

You forgot to mention Satoshi Nakamoto.Our future is connected to bitcoin and the blockchain.
Perhaps you should mention Edison and Tesla.All the computers,smart phones and internet can`t run without electricity.I don`t know why you are making this thread.We all are paying tribute to the fathers of the modern technology every day.

We really know that the people behind our future, are those people maker of all newly invented technology, and mostly to our very own original founder of bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto. In cryptocurrency like bitcoin, we can surely that our future will become good when it comes to financial stability and also our economic status globally will rise because of bitcoin business.

I am pointing those persons who contributed to the welfare of our economy as well as the development of our technology. I would not prefer for you prince charming!

I did not include Satoshi Naamoto because all lf here are his fanatic and all of us are making some research about his contribution in the technology yet we must also appreciate his invention, the bitcoin!

Yes, but most of them are not known by the people nowadays! The youth to be specific! They are just using the gadget and technology but they never realize how it be invented. We should bear in our mind that without these person, we never experience an easier life unlike before.

it's a discussion of your life experience testing based on a life test that you need to go through with so much pride in it including the exciting occurrence in our surroundings one trial or a challenge to overcome all growth or promotion of your knowledge of things including the growth of your surroundings.

yes sometimes the side effects of rapid technological developments. unwittingly our future people become lazy.

This people you mentioned have nothing to do with our future, why? Because the only man who will create our future is our own. No matter what this people created will be useless if laziness of people will prevail and would not do in order to improve their lives.

So the internet and the World Wide Web were invented by two different individuals. Go figure, that's a nice fact

How about Noyce, Moore (Moore's Law) and Groove - Intel Corporation.

I think those guys really shape the way how they shape computing and now we are enjoying their chips on every Desktop or Laptop we used to connect to the Internet?

And to quote:


Read Moore's Law https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/mooreslaw.asp#ixzz59Ib2Y2hj

And if we are going to apply it to bitcoin;

I agree with Ranly123, specifically the bold text part. IMO, the future that they (people on your list) have influenced to is our present time and not our future.
When I read the topic title, I thought I could see a list of young and presently active person/s which contribute on the development of new technologies.

Nothing against anyone on your list but do you ever get an impression our standards for innovation, progress and invention are steadily being lowered to produce an illusion that these things are not diminishing over time?

Looking at your list James Gosling created java but as far as I know he did not pioneer the interpreted programming language or bytecode. He might not even have pioneered the JIT (just in time) compiler. His contributions may well have been nil. John Cioffi also likely pioneered nothing. He took existing technology and adapted it with a few mild tweaks, nothing new there. Vic Hayes the same.

Many of those names on your list contributed nothing new and only built on the shoulders of those who came before them. Did someone at google search for the least inventive and least innovative names they could find to compile the list? Perhaps I am imagining things?   ???

this information is very interesting, all is really needed and interconnected but I really idolize Mr. Vinton Gray, his invention is very interesting  :)

Beside all the people who are behind of every successful thing the people around which we are living a life are good for us and in the crypto world satoshi namatodo is the one who have introduced this currency and now many people become successful through this currency as in the world many people have done many activities and they are now good for the future the person who is behind my forcefulness is my father who did a lot for us and i have to pray for him he is the one who is a real hero for me.

All Edison did was produce the lightbulb and lobby politicians to lay electric cables everywhere.

The real hero of the electric story is Italian physicist Alessandro Volta, who invented the early battery in 1800, and then produced and sent a current.

So you you think future is all about software? I think the code can't solve some important problems in human life.You also missed the satoshi nakamoto who is maybe the best one among them.

I think you should mention Charles Babbage, the man who originated the concept of a programmable computer. He is considered the "father of the computer".
Most of the people you mentioned are all about software, but I think that hardware is equally important, and it started way back before mobile phones, it all started with Abacus :)

You are right fellow! I salute to these men and special mention, Satoshi Nakamoto. For without him, crypto world will not also be possible.I also wanted to add Charles Babbage, the father of computer. All of these great men help make our life better

If we are talking hardware, William Shockley and John Bardeen of bell labs too deserve a mention for the first transistor. The device that eventually enabled all logic devices.

Although as Hydrogen so ruefully pointed out earlier, It gets me every time to imagine how those early innovators would have worked.
Today it is all about snazzy IDE's with tools and pre-built libraries ready to be exploited to make the next idea come to fruition. But like you pointed out, it does look like we no longer have that age of fundamental discoveries and inventions.. :( When ENIAC would have been built with its thousands of vacuum tubes occupying several hundred square feet. Those people really were giants.

How those people built on the capabilities of the first machines to gradually reach to the first microprocessors. How they would have programmed the instruction set for the first microprocessors in real bits and bytes, making them come to life. The ALU, I/O, 8 KB of EEPROM and a few LED's interacting to create the first illusion of a response from the machine!! :o Such wonders they would have been. Gradually all of that complexity got abstracted away from bits to mnemonics to programming languages and now to function blocks based IDE's..

It is admirable that we are making programming more and more accessible but i frankly feel bad that the fundamentals are no longer as accessible as they would have been back in the days.. And that we never got to be a part of it..LOL..

Luca Pacioli - In 1494, the first book on double-entry accounting was published by Luca Pacioli. Since Pacioli was a Franciscan

 friar, he might be referred to simply as Friar Luca. While Friar Luca is regarded as the "Father of Accounting," he did not

invent the system. Source : https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2320658

The man who is recognized as the creator of basic accounting is Luca Pacioli, an Italian mathematician and writer. Pacioli

developed a system comprehensible enough for school-age boys to understand; he recorded this system in a textbook titled

Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportionate Proportionalita.

Where would we have been without our ledger and the next digital evolution called the Blockchain.  ;D

But you must also look that the technology you have mentioned become some kind of double edged sword for a considerable amount of people. With the discovery of the internet, mobile phones there comes social media websites, at first it was doing its thing making people interact with one another  but when the social websites grow it made people less socialize and worst made people become less productive. Some people think that this websites are enough for their entertainment but what is really happening is that too much of it is a distraction in your real life. So not all technology has positive effects some of it if abused will give you negative effects.

yes our future is not only about software and I think our future is in our hands, that's why we all trying so hard to make a better future with crypto currency. crypto currency make our lives easier especially in making money and crypto currency give us hope to increase our lives.

The above mentioned have in one way or the other help the society with there inventions and one should not in any way forget the Father of crypro currency Satoshi Nakamoto who happen to invent Bitcoin of which that brought all of us here together to make a leaving.

In science, it feels more appropriate to use the pathfinder metaphor.

It will be much easier for future generations to walk on the road ahead of them.

Thank these great people for bringing us a wonderful life!

these guys are amazing, but there are more incredible guys who have done a lot of things, in my opinion Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Galileo Galilei, Nikola Tesla, Antoine Lavoisier, are people who have done a lot for science and for the world. these guys deserve our respect and hope that someday we can master the space, build better planes and be able to travel to more planets


we have to be grateful

The world we know, from the very beginning, is able to explore and understand the world from a higher perspective.

Because we are enjoying the civilization that great scientists bring us!

Just like the block chain technology, bring a new round of scientific revolution!

Thank God for these people! for whatever reason that they invented these things somehow they foresee that things things they invented will become part of world history and that  God use them gave them wisdom and intelligence to create such as these...and for this reason we are so thankful that we benefited from what they have done and with much gratitude and respect we who are recipient of these invention should be responsible and accountable too so that the next generation will inherit and benefit as well.

Yes you are right but Satoshi Nakamoto is the main reason why we also use that things to earned money thanks to the creator of bitcoin. They are all connected which means our life will now easy about connections to other people and even transactions.

Yes i agree that all people who invented to make our life easier nowadays, are part of the men behind our future, i really appreciate their inventions, but remember we will make our own future, we are the the who build it, yes they are part to make our future easier and smartier. But still we are the one who make our future therefore i conclude that the men behind our future is just ourselves. And important the only one behind our future is the God Father who create us.

that's not right because for me neither male nor female will be able to prevent our future or the back of our future because each of us has their own life or strategy decision. because we're here to be rich without any help in yours. but we are just ourselves and my future depends on it in a bitcoin currency I will be a success in my joining here as a bitcoin investor to me that nothing else is behind me and with the bitcoin that helps us to take us in the future someday and that will come.

Hereis a classic example of how a thread goes to shit.. >:( This topic started with a good discussion and we were just latching on to how the age of fundamental discoveries and inventions seems to have passed us by. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2877768.msg36221013#msg36221013) How these discoveries don't seem as exciting as those from the giants of the past. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2877768.msg31979497#msg31979497)

Suddenly, You guys come in and start talking about God and how bitcoin will make us rich??? Whyy??  :-\ Whhhhyyy would you do that?? This topic has so much juice. There is so much content that a simple google search can give and you could comment meaningfully. Want to add something about the transistor and Bell Labs i referred to? Or about Charles Babbage and how he made the first mechanical calculation machine? Or even about any of the technologies that you find interesting yourselves? There is so much you could easily add to such a topic!

But You choose not to. You will just come in,spout some f***ing nonsense about God, and bitcoin being very useful, increase your post count and before you are done, you have spoiled a good topic for the rest of us. Seriously guys, Please try to put some miniuscle effort in your posts. Avoid posting mindless shit like this. You will never learn anything from the forum and will only contribute to lowering it's level. This may fulfill your short term goals but this is not good for anyone in the long term.

---

Just quoting some of the posts I am talking about below. Please try and put some effort in contributing to the topics rather than such pointless bunch of words. Thanks!

Indeed he is the boon to the entire world and for people who has now become self efficient by working for themself or to support their family form the income of crypto currency. And all this being made true by the invention of it and also due to your interest and research and believing in this.

happier for us who already know bitcoin, because then we will be able to follow development of the era. and hopefully we will soon get financial freedom, so that it can be more charitable

along with the development of the era, we do have to always fix ourselves and follow the journey of the future by trying to find information and try to follow it, with the discovery of technology by figures above figures then did not rule out that we may someday also be able to find new things in technology, hopefully we can always go forward, amen

The future is dependent on technology, and the people behind our future are those who make all the new inventions, such as bitcoin's founder, satoshi nakamoto.

i agree to this. satoshi nakamoto is the men behind of our success now and in the future. i believe that Satoshi Nakamoto is not single person alone. you can create the biggest cryptocurrency now when you are alone right. its so impossible. so  I strongly believe that satoshi nakamoto is a name of a group in japan. japanese name is satoshi nakamoto.

They are the men to create and become our partner and make our future better because of them. They are the successful men to be inspired. My knowledge is increasing by your info, thanks to this.

I agree it is interesting to think of how people lived and worked in the old times. To me, it is very interesting to imagine how do people live currently in other places than mine.

Life is easy now and it would be easier in the future as well. Right now, see bitocins, they have made a double profit for all of us. They are totally helping population to make moony on one side. While being on the other, they become a source of transferring amount from one place to another that is so fast and accelerated that no one can compete that. They are literally changing the lives.

No, we can’t deny the aspects of technology that have created a hub of easiness in the life of humans. But on the same floor, we can’t just deny the losses and disasters came in the lives of people just because of technology. So I think, with this statement, we can extract out that it is us who will be deciding for our future and would be leading ourselves either to the loss or to the profit.

Indeed, should always thanks to that man and others man that give their inovation on our world. People always make inovation and we should take it with responsible.
Internet give us more opportunity to make extra money, right now we can trade on forex market, stock market or cryptomarket with more easily because internet.

They should always be remembered and appreciated for without them life would bot be as easy, awesome, great, wonderful. Technology at its best is what we have because of those talented persons gifted by God so that life can be enjoyed to the fullest. And yes i consider satoshi as one of them,  for without him there is no bitcoin  Hurray to the men behind our future. Salute!!!

I think that the list of such people is really endless as there are a lot of those who have contributed to the development of the smart technologies and software. I don't know much about those people mentioned but after reading some information in your post seems that they really deserve respect.

Thanks to them they are the legend because of them Bitcoin and Blockchain have been birth and continue to growth. Technology also evolve every generation comes.

The man behind our future is "US". Ourself is we need to acknowledge as we success in the future. Of course, we have to acknowledge as well the founder Satoshi Nakamoto you help us achieve our goals in life.

Yes of course they deserve respect. These people used their minds and practiced different theories and technical education to make our lives easier. Like now, engineers and especially software engineers have made our lives so easier just because we being at home, can run anything related to us. We can’t surveillance our homes and offices and roads and much more.

For every proton there is an electron. That means, it is not possible to have something with only advantages. Everything has its positive and negative aspects in order to maintain balance. Technology inventions also have their own pros and cons.

Besides, it really depend on the user which side of fence he chooses to be, either the right or intended one or the wrong one. In addition to this, Humans can never create perfect things.

Great men, they have contributed they own quarter to humanity and technologyical development and we have to be happy this men live in our time.  Blockchain technology father was not in the foregoing list and I think satoshi should be added as to me this is the greatest technological advancements and blockchain is going to take advantage of all this development.
