Nelson |first1=Theodor |title=Managing Immense Storage |magazine=[[Byte (magazine)|Byte: The Small Systems Journal]] |date=January 1988 |volume=13 |issue=1 |pages=225β238}}</ref> In 1998, at the Seventh WWW Conference in [[Brisbane]], Australia, Nelson was awarded the [[Yuri Rubinsky Memorial Award]]. In 2001, he was knighted by France as [[Ordre des Arts et des Lettres|Officier des Arts et Lettres]]. In 2007, he celebrated his 70th birthday by giving an invited lecture at the [[University of Southampton]].<ref>70th Birthday Lecture: {{YouTube|iE2A95HXP4Y|Intertwingularity: where ideas collide}}</ref> In 2014, ACM [[SIGCHI]] honored him with a Special Recognition Award.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sigchi.org/about/awards/2014-sigchi-awards|title=ACM SIGCHI 2014 awards page|access-date=April 26, 2014|archive-date=July 5, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140705202806/http://www.sigchi.org/about/awards/2014-sigchi-awards|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 2014, Nelson was conferred with a Doctor of Science degree, honoris causa, by [[Chapman University]].

At the conference, Nelson stated confidence in the potential of his Xanadu system, saying 'The world would have been a better place if I had succeeded, but I ain't dead yet.'<ref>{{cite web|url=https://news.chapman.edu/2014/04/28/in-honor-of-ted-nelson-computer-pioneers-connect-at-intertwingled/|title=In honor of Ted Nelson, computer pioneers connect at 'Intertwingled'|date=April 28, 2014|author=Dawn Bonker|publisher=[[Chapman University]]|access-date=2023-09-03|archive-date=September 3, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230903154339/https://news.chapman.edu/2014/04/28/in-honor-of-ted-nelson-computer-pioneers-connect-at-intertwingled/|url-status=live}}</ref> ===Neologisms=== Nelson is credited with coining several new words that have come into common usage especially in the world of computing.
