who discovered the internet?

In the late 1960s, the U.S. Department of Defense created the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET), which eventually grew into the Internet.

I wonder what was past before Internet?

If you are referring to Webpages and anything to do with the HTTP protocol (collectively known as the World Wide Web), this was invented by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in Switzerland, and not America as confused by many.\n\nWhat American  did invent though, was the foundations on which the WWW was created upon. This was called DARPA, and was built to survive nuclear attacks after Russia launched Sputnik and caused fear among the government. See the 2nd link for more detailed information. \n\nSo in essence the american government invented the internet,\nTim Berners-Lee made it possible for people like you and me to use it with web browsers and what not.

The computer wasn't discovered; it was invented.  Check this out:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer#History_of_computing

Article on this:\nhttp://www.w3.org/Consortium/\nTimeline:\nhttp://www.w3.org/History.html\n\nYou asked, "What was the first website ever?" Well, that depends on your definition of "web site." It would be great if there was a nice clear-cut answer, but, like most inventions, the world wide web didn't just pop into existence all at once....It happened (and is still happening) in stages. A reasonable answer might be the site that Tim Berners-Lee put together at CERN for the development of the first Browser/Editor, called WorldWideWeb, in 1990. But people might say, no, that didn't have enough in it of what we would today call "web technology" to qualify. Others might say, no, there were earlier things that qualify like Vanevar Bush's " As We May Think" article in the July 1945 Atlantic Monthly.\n\nBut I'll stick with whatever test data Berners-Lee used in the development of the program called WorldWideWeb. Certainly by 1993, there were several sites at CERN that qualified by most people's definition.

There is no inventor for internet. It is more of development of a network, that we call as internet today. Here is the history\n\nThe first TCP/IP wide area network was operational by January 1, 1983 (this is technically the birth of the Internet), when the United States' National Science Foundation (NSF) constructed a university network backbone that would later become the NSFNet\n\nThe network gained a public face in the 1990s. In August 1991 CERN in Switzerland publicized the new World Wide Web project, two years after Tim Berners-Lee had begun creating HTML, HTTP and the first few web pages at CERN in Switzerland.\n\nSir Timothy "Tim" John Berners-Lee, KBE, FRS (TimBL or TBL) (born June 8, 1955 in London) is the inventor of the World Wide Web and director of the World Wide Web Consortium, which oversees its continued development.\n\nIn 1993 the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign released the Mosaic web browser version 1.0, and by late 1994 there was growing public interest in the previously academic/technical Internet. By 1996 the word "Internet" was common public currency, but it referred almost entirely to the World Wide Web.

Mr. Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989 while working at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN)\n\nhttp://nxoc01.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html

The USSR's launch of Sputnik spurred the U.S. to create the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to regain a U.S. technological lead. DARPA created the Information Processing Technology Office to further the research of the Semi Automatic Ground Environment program, which had networked country-wide radar systems together for the first time. J. C. R. Licklider was selected to head the IPTO, and saw universal networking as a potential unifying human revolution. Licklider recruited Lawrence Roberts to head a project to implement a network, and Roberts based the technology on the work of Paul Baran who had written an exhaustive study for the U.S. Air Force that recommended packet switching to make a network highly robust and survivable. After much work, the first node went live at UCLA on October 29, 1969 on what would be called the ARPANET, the "eve" network of today's Internet.

God invented the internet, so the first site was www.bible.com.  If that doesn't work, try www.load_of_crap.com.  They're basically the same thing.

Most probably internet.com

I think the real milestone that changed the Internet was the world wide web.  Without it, Yahoo wouldn't exist.

ARPANET, the "Mother of the Internet,"  began as a U.S. government experiment linking researchers with remote computer centers to allow them to share hardware and software resources.\n\nI hope this helps!\n\n--Stacey
