In 1983, Richard Stallman, longtime member of the hacker community at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, announced the GNU project, saying that he had become frustrated with the effects of the change in culture of the computer industry and its users.

* A community of enthusiast computer programmers and systems designers, originated in the 1960s around the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's ( MIT's ) Tech Model Railroad Club ( TMRC ) and MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

* John McCarthy: Co-founder of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab and Stanford AI Laboratory

In 1959 he and John McCarthy founded what is now known as the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

In the early 1970s at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab, Minsky and Seymour Papert started developing what came to be called The Society of Mind theory.

He held this position until 1967, when he became professor of applied math and director of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, until 1981 ; he also served as Cecil & Ida Green professor of education at MIT from 1974-1981.

After a time, the TX-0 was no longer considered worth keeping at Lincoln Lab, and was " loaned " ( semi-permanently ) to the MIT Research Laboratory of Electronics ( RLE ) in July 1958, where it became a centerpiece of research that would eventually evolve into the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab and the original computer " hacker " culture.

ITS, the Incompatible Timesharing System ( named in comparison with the Compatible Time-Sharing System also in use at MIT ), was an early, revolutionary, and influential time-sharing operating system from MIT ; it was developed principally by the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT, with some help from Project MAC.

It described how the National Intelligence Organization of Turkey ( MIT ) had formed two teams: one which carried out bombings at tourist sites on Crete and other parts of Greece and another which was responsible for starting the wildfires.

Ken Olsen and Harlan Anderson were two engineers who had been working at MIT Lincoln Laboratory on the lab's various computer projects.

LORAN systems were built during World War II after development at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ) Radiation Laboratory and were used extensively by the US Navy and Royal Navy.

By the end of the war, MIT became the nation's largest wartime R & D contractor ( attracting some criticism of Bush ), employing nearly 4000 in the Radiation Laboratory alone and receiving in excess of $ 100 million ($ billion in 2012 dollars ) before 1946.

MIT ultimately divested itself from the Instrumentation Laboratory and moved all classified research off-campus to the Lincoln Laboratory facility in 1973 in response to the protests, and the student body, faculty, and administration remained comparatively unpolarized during what was a tumultuous time for many other universities.

Several major computer-related organizations have originated at MIT since the 1980s: Richard Stallman's GNU Project and the subsequent Free Software Foundation were founded in the mid-1980s at the AI Lab ; the MIT Media Lab was founded in 1985 by Nicholas Negroponte and Jerome Wiesner to promote research into novel uses of computer technology ; the World Wide Web Consortium standards organization was founded at the Laboratory for Computer Science in 1994 by Tim Berners-Lee ; the OpenCourseWare project has made course materials for over 2, 000 MIT classes available online free of charge since 2002 ; and the One Laptop per Child initiative to expand computer education and connectivity to children worldwide was launched in 2005.

MIT maintains substantial research and faculty ties with independent research organizations in the Boston-area like the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as well as international research and educational collaborations through the Singapore-MIT Alliance, MIT-Politecnico di Milano, MIT-Zaragoza International Logistics Program, and other countries through the MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives ( MISTI ) program.

The design of the PDP-1 was based on the pioneering TX-0 computer, designed and built at MIT Lincoln Laboratory.

In 1962, DEC donated the engineering prototype PDP-1 to MIT, where it was placed in the room next to its ancestor, the TX-0 computer, which was by then on indefinite loan from Lincoln Laboratory.

Papert worked as a researcher in a variety of places, including St. John's College, Cambridge, the Henri Poincare Institute at the University of Paris, the University of Geneva and the National Physical Laboratory in London before becoming a research associate at MIT in 1963.

Vector graphics were also used on the TX-2 at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory by computer graphics pioneer Ivan Sutherland to run his program Sketchpad in 1963.

It was founded at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Laboratory for Computer Science ( MIT / LCS ) with support from the European Commission and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ), which had pioneered the Internet and its predecessor ARPANET.
