ARPA and DARPA created the internet, but not the World Wide Web that we use our web browsers to see all the pretty pictures and videos and stuff.

There is a big difference as those of us who remember the first days of text services and 300 baud modems know.

Yes, back in the days of using Gopher and Archie searches. I remember the internet before there was any GUI interface and it was all text based. Those were the days when it was all free. You could search colleges and libraries without a fear of a virus or payment being asked and no damn spam.
