JCR Licklider, a father of Arpanet, attended the March 1950 cybernetics conference and gave a a paper detailing:
“the ways and the extent to which speech can be distorted and yet remain intelligible” (Heims 1991: 75)
I’d love to know whether Licklider attended any of the other meetings, and what kind of impact, if any, the conferences had on him.
