I heard about 2Market, a joint venture of Apple and AOL that was building one of the first computer-based shopping services.
In the early 1980s, he produced one of the first computer-based language learning courses, in French and Spanish, for Atari; and for Direct English (1994), he created a body of fresh and innovative learning materials, including interactive CD-Rom and video, with internet components.

While at UCLA, Cerf worked under fellow student Stephen Crocker in the laboratory of Leonard Kleinrock on the project to write the communication protocol (Network Control Program [or Protocol]; NCP) for the ARPANET Advanced Research Projects Agency Networkk; see DARPA), the first computer network based on packet switching, a heretofore untested technology.
After reading the paragraphs above, it may seem less surprising that the first computer processors based on ICs were developed for NASA's Apollo Guidance Computer, and many of the basic protocols and technologies at the foundation of the modern internet were invented by researchers working for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
He later produced the American science fiction film Tron (1982) for Walt Disney Productions, the first computer animation-based feature film.
If so, he was a great artist in the sense that Bob Dylan and Andy Warhol are great artists: hugely talented jackdaws who took other people's half-baked innovations and converted them into beautiful products with mass appeal.* Apple didn't build the first desktop computer based on a microprocessor: the Micral N and the MITS Altair predated the landmark Apple II.
