Philip Emeagwali Who was a Computer Scientist

Philip Emeagwali contributed to black history month by won the Gordon Bell supercomputing prize in 1989 for applying the power of networked computers to analysis of oil field reserves.
Philip also designed the program and formula for the fastest computer on earth called the connection machine.He designed a system of parrallel computers that are used by all search engines. He also designed the Hyperball computer which is able to forecast long-term global warming patterns.
For the last step I chose John Love who invented the pencil sharpener. With out him we probably wouldn't be able to use pencils because by having to cut many trees down to supply all our needs in school. Which will hurt our economy.
