Robert Taylor: Books
built 293 days ago
At DEC's Systems Research Center, now owned by Compaq, Mr. Taylor built another world-class computer systems laboratory. Among the technologies it generated were high-performance work stations, a computer language later developed into Sun Microsystems' Java, a number of advanced networking and storage technologies, and electronic books.

There is some uncertainty as to where Taylor located right after his graduation, but he did not head directly to Tuskegee. He may have worked during the summer of 1892 for an architectural firm in Cleveland, Ohio; by his own testimony, he "took up the practice of architecture and designed several private and public buildings."(24) The encounters with Booker T. Washington in Boston... had inspired an interest in somehow combining architecture with a career in the field of education. Taylor received offers from five schools--including the one from Tuskegee--to organize and direct industrial programs. After "some hesitancy," he finally accepted the Tuskegee offer.(25) Among subsequent notable hires at Tuskegee was George Washington Carver, who joined the faculty there in 1896 after earning bachelor's and master's degrees at Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts.

Taylor was subpoenaed in front of the HUAC in Washington, DC, on October 23, 1947, the only movie star whose appearance was pre-announced to the media, and the event was a circus. Alexander’s book reveals that Taylor was originally officially classified as a “Reluctant Witness” but through studio and government coordination, he became the “face to blame” for the “Hollywood Ten’s” imprisonment and blacklisting.

One of Mr. Taylor's missions now that he's retired is to clear up myths and inaccuracies about the history of the Internet and computers. "I'm helping authors with books on computer history," he says. "Several books and stories are quite off the mark."
