This is a column to brag about Paul Baran, because Lord knows he's not going to do it himself.
The guy is a brilliant innovator and a successful Silicon Valley entrepreneur. He's on his way to the White House to be honored Monday for giving us some of the key building blocks of the Internet.
And what does Baran think about it all? What will it be like to have the president of the United States present him with a National Medal of Technology and Innovation?
"Beats the hell out of me, Baran says.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Edward Vielmetti (talk • contribs) 04:38, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Yes, we know about his death, the article has been updated. My problem is with the lead section. It should give context, and summarize the article. Right now it mentions Davies three times with two links. That seems undue weight. The role of contemporaries should indeed be spelled out in the body. Are there sources saying that the three were listed as "co-inventors" on any patents? That might be confused with people working on different aspects of the same field at about the same time. By Baran's notability is not because of association with Davies nor Kleinrock. W Nowicki (talk) 20:16, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: The article says that Baran "invented packet switching techniques", not that he "invented packet switching". And the Davies article says he was one of the inventors of packet switching, so there is some room for other inventors. Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 23:33, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
