Enjoyed the opening ceromony, except for the two parts, the one about the NHS and the other one about a certain guy who was said to have invented the world wide web. Sorry Great Britain, it was the USA and the military that invented the internet.

On the NHS part, could it have been Britain’s way of teasing the USA and even Bob Coastis said about big debate on both healthcare and politics last night. The irony of it all was that, both First Lady Michelle and the Romneys were at the opening ceromonies.

America invented the internet, but the British gentleman is the inventor of the WWW.

The two are different.

Another Englishman invented the modern computer as well (Charles Babbage).
