"If Alan Lippman felt uncomfortable at first, no one could blame him. There he was, this wide-eyed, brown-haired kid taking his first university course, an astronomy class that met at night....He was 11 at the time. Lippman, now 36, is profoundly gifted by any measure: He graduated from Seattle's Garfield High School at 11, earned a college degree three years later, and finished his Ph.D. in applied mathematics by the time he was old enough to vote. His most well-known contribution, though, is helping transform the Internet into a three-dimensional medium--one that included sound." (THE SEATTLE TIMES) This article discusses the career of the man responsible for bringing sound to the Internet.
