Vinton Cerf occupies a central and fundamental place among the many contributors to the creation of the Internet. Together with Robert Kahn, he was responsible for the development of the TCP/IP protocols in the 1970s, which allowed data transmission between different computer networks, thus establishing the technical basis of the Internet as we know it today. Although other researchers such as Leonard Kleinrock (packet switching), Paul Baran and Donald Davies (networking concepts), or even Tim Berners-Lee (creator of the World Wide Web) played important roles in different stages of this evolution, Cerf was part of the pioneering group that designed the network architecture itself. For this reason, he is considered not only a visionary, but one of the main creators of the fundamental infrastructure of the Internet.

This drawing, made by Vinton Cerf, represents the concept of a unified global network and visually shows the innovation that allowed communication between computers of different systems - the ARPANET, SATNET, PRNET networks connected through the TCP/IP protocol - a fundamental advance for the digital world we know today.
