Stephen Wolfram

. “Lick” Licklider —who persuaded Ed to join BBN to “teach them about computers”. It didn’t really come to light until he was at BBN, but while at Lincoln Lab Ed had made what would eventually become his first lasting contribution to computer science. Then McCarthy started to explain ways a computer could do algebra.
