Ken Olsen

Ken H. Olsen (born on February 20, 1926) was an American engineer who founded Digital Equipment Corporation in 1957. He was born in Stratford, Connecticut. Olsen was a Massachusetts engineer who had been working at MIT Lincoln Laboratory on the TX-2 project. In 1977 he famously quipped that "There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home." This has been taken out of context to mean that he thought the PC didn't belong in the home, but he was really referring to the concept of a powerful central computer that would control every aspect of home life http://snopes.com/quotes/kenolsen.asp.
