Now who really did invent the Internet? J.C.R. Licklider was the first to describe an Internet-like worldwide network of computers, in 1962. He called it the "Galactic Network." Larry G. Roberts created the first functioning long-distance computer networks in 1965 and designed the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET), the seed from which the modern Internet grew, in 1966. Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf invented the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) which moves data on the modern Internet, in 1972 and 1973. If any two people "invented the Internet," it was Kahn and Cerf - but they have publicly stated that "no one person or group of people" invented the Internet. Radia Perlman invented the spanning tree algorithm in the 1980s. Her spanning tree algorithm allows efficient bridging between separate networks. Without a good bridging solution, large-scale networks like the Internet would be impractical. The Internet was well-established before Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau created what is now its most popular application. A major achievement? Of course! But we don't ask why Karl Benz doesn't get some of the credit for inventing the wheel. We understand that the wheel was around before the car. So, technically, it was Americans who invented the Internet

Britain invented the internet, at least a British man did. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Berners-Lee http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/ "A graduate of Oxford University, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web, an internet-based hypermedia initiative for global information sharing while at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory," http://www.paramountwebsitedesign.com/about-paramount/who-invented-the-internet "ithat it was invented by a British engineer and scientist. His name is Tim Berners-Lee and here is the full run-down of how the internet was invented:"

According to Al Gore, Al Gore did, but we all know that guy is really out of it. lol :P

No one person invented the Internet as we know it today. However, certain major figures contributed major breakthroughs cowboy...
