So, a thought occurred to me when I was looking through the list of inventors who aren't recognized for their initial achievement and was trying to make artifacts for (speaking of which, would you mind looking at these? I know they aren't my best ideas, but I was simply throwing them out while I had them in my head.).

Vinton Cerf designed the ARPANET, a precursor to the internet we know today. He also worked for DARPA. So, a thought occurred to me as I worked to figure out an artifact for him: couldn't he have developed the Warehouse's modern search system? The modern system of tracking artifacts can detect pings much faster than going through mounds of papers and such looking for possible artifacts; it's feasible that he was the main developer.

I also theorize he came up with the idea for the Artifact Tracker Football. I think that was originally an artifact that simply flew around the world when thrown before returning to the location it launched from. He then installed a computer in in which detected artifact pings and transmitted it to the Warehouse's main system. It would also be much more secure than the modern internet because it uses a different system, while an adaption made in the mid-90s with the development of the modern internet is what allows the Warehouse to browse that as well, with the extreme safety that Vint designed. What do you think?
