What about Alexander Graham Bell, Marconi and Wernher Von Braugn. Edison and so many others. All of them built the foundation of what we call the internet. Tim Berners-Lee is credited with inventing the world wide web.

From the article:

If the government didn't invent the Internet, who did? Vinton Cerf developed the TCP/IP protocol, the Internet's backbone, and Tim Berners-Lee gets credit for hyperlinks.

Isn’t it funny how Der Fuhrer conveniently left out the part about those that built the INFRASTRUCTURE upon which the Internet was built?

Tim Berners-Lee is credited with inventing the world wide web.

And then there was Mark Andreeson (et al), who actually helped make the WWW usable - Originally, the web was all character based. Anybody else remember Mosaic?

Mark
