# Bob Kahn

> He co-invented the protocols that let computers talk to each other across networks — TCP and IP, the twin engines under everything online. Without that 1970s engineering, no internet as we know it.

## Bio

Robert Elliot Kahn was born December 23, 1938, and trained as an electrical engineer. Working alongside Vint Cerf, he proposed the Transmission Control Protocol and the Internet Protocol — TCP/IP — the foundational communication standards that would allow disparate networks to connect and exchange data. That architecture became the backbone of the internet. In 2004, Kahn and Cerf shared the Turing Award for the work, computing's highest honor, a quiet acknowledgment that they'd built the roads everyone else now drives on.
