Well,
The concept of multiple people coming to the same ideas isn't particularly unusual. The silicon valley is filled with stories of companies rushing to market with similar ideas. That Gordon invented a virus is not that novel, he's really smart but given the melting pot of technology at the time it wasn't like nobody else could come to the same conclusion. If anything what is so charming about the show is how they hit on that very same melting pot of a dozen new ideas all sort of hitting the world at the same time.
And not sure if you lived through the era but it was very common for people to have multiple telephone lines. Your billing and dialing number weren't necessarily the same thing, and if you were a kid there was often a second line just because the parents got so annoyed at kids using one line so often (first for friends, then as this era dawned, for dialup).
