History [2]
DETROIT-Each year, the American Polish Engineering Association, an affiliate of the Engineering Society of Detroit, honors one of their own and one outstanding Polish American engineer, scientist or technician who has made outstanding contributions to the field of engineering. In an effort to honor these people further and to get the word out about the contributions of Polish engineers and scientists, the APEA publishes a booklet about these individuals. They are distributed at the association's annual banquet, as well as to schools, libraries, and other centers.
This year, the APEA honored Paul Baran, the inventor of Packet Switching and internet pioneer. (Packet Switching is the technology that allows information to travel over the internet).

See....it wasn't Al Gore who invented the internet. It was a Pole.

Glad we've got that cleared up! Now if I can just decide which I like more... Polish sausages or the Internet.

Thanks for the info Sharon.
