John Postel

Jon Postel was a pioneering computer scientist who played a key role in developing the internet. He was responsible for managing and organizing the Domain Name System (DNS), which makes it possible to use easy-to-remember addresses like www.example.com instead of complex numbers. Postel also helped create and maintain core internet protocols that allow different computer networks to communicate seamlessly. His work laid the foundation for a reliable, scalable, and open internet, and he is remembered as one of the main architects who helped shape the digital world we use today.
