Robert M. Frankston (born June 14, 1949 in Brooklyn, New York) is the co-creator with Dan Bricklin of the VisiCalc spreadsheet program and the co-founder of Software Arts, the company that developed it.

Biography

Frankston graduated in 1966 from Stuyvesant High School in New York City[1] and in 1970 from M.I.T.

Frankston has received numerous honors and awards for his work:

  • Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (1994) "for the invention of VisiCalc, a new metaphor for data manipulation that galvanized the personal computing industry"
  • MIT William L. Stewart Award for co-founding the M.I.T. Student Information Processing Board (SIPB).
  • The Association for Computing Machinery Software System Award (1985)
  • The MIT LCS Industrial Achievement Award
  • The Washington Award (2001) from the Western Society of Engineers (with Bricklin)
  • In 2004, he was made a Fellow of the Computer History Museum "for advancing the utility of personal computers by developing the VisiCalc electronic spreadsheet."[2]

In recent years, Frankston has been an outspoken advocate for reducing the role of telecommunications companies in the evolution of the Internet, particularly with respect to broadband and mobile communications.[3][4] He coined the term "Regulatorium" to describe what he considers collusion between telecommunication companies and their regulators that prevents change.[5][6]
