Satya Nadella and Michael Dell were awarded the National Medal of Technology and Innovation at the White House, the Washington Post reports. The appearance included other technology leaders, though the supplied account does not specify their awards or the reasons for these two honours.
Why it mattersIt is a small but notable recognition of two prominent figures in computing. The timing, the Post notes, was arguably awkward; the report excerpt does not say why.
Discuss: Should national technology honours recognise the leaders of major companies, or focus more on the researchers and teams behind their advances?
