Al Gore, "Invent internet", do you have a reference?

Just because you hear something repeatedly does not mean it is true and this is definitely not true.

John Henry Google.  He and Al Gore invented the internet and then he went on to invent search engines and toasters.

You know it.  I love that quote from Randall:\n\n"What's the point of having an internet connection if your not using it to look up weird f-cked up pictures of dirty sex you'd never have yourself?"

While smoking banana peels with Tipper in the 60's, Al came up with a good idea. Let's build an information superhighway ! "\n\nAnd so he did. Al Gore realized that TCP/IP would not only allow computers to communicate with each other using dynamic rerouting, but would also reduce the emmisions which cause global warming.\n\nThis story is also told in the movie "Love Story" which was actually (according to Mr. Gore) about him and Tipper.

No one person invented the Internet as we know it today. However, certain major figures contributed major breakthroughs: \nLeonard Kleinrock was the first to publish a paper about the idea of packet switching, which is essential to the Internet. He did so in 1961. Packet switching is the idea that packets of data can be "routed" from one place to another based on address information carried in the data, much like the address on a letter. Packet switching replaces the older concept of "circuit switching," in which an actual electrical circuit is established all the way from the source to the destination. Circuit switching was the idea behind traditional telephone exchanges.

Still Bill Gates\nhttp://www.forbes.com/2004/02/25/bill04land.html\n\nAnd, no, he didn't invent the computer.

I don't see one. But I'll keep my eyes open for good solutions. I believe the WEB has caused gigantic problems in our society. Our youth has suddenly come to the conclusion that having a link to a response somehow 'proves' it's true.

Fascinating facts about the invention\nof the Internet by Vinton Cerf in 1973. INTERNET \n \nThe Internet is a worldwide network of thousands of computers and computer networks. It is a public, voluntary, and cooperative effort between the connected institutions and is not owned or operated by any single organization.  The Internet and Transmission Control Protocols were initially developed in 1973 by American computer scientist Vinton Cerf as part of a project sponsored by the United States Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) and directed by American engineer Robert Kahn.   \nThe Internet began as a computer network of ARPA (ARPAnet) that linked computer networks at several universities and research laboratories in the United States. The World Wide Web was developed in 1989 by English computer scientist Timothy Berners-Lee for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).\n\n"The DESIGN of Internet was done in 1973 and published in 1974. There ensued about 10 years of hard work, resulting in the roll out of Internet in 1983. Prior to that, a number of demonstrations were made of the technology - such as the first three-network interconnection demonstrated in November 1977 linking SATNET, PRNET and ARPANET in a path leading from Menlo Park, CA to University College London and back to USC/ISI in Marina del Rey, CA." . - Vinton Cerf explains the timing:\n\nInternet, interconnection of computer networks that enables connected machines to communicate directly. The term popularly refers to a particular global interconnection of government, education, and business computer networks that is available to the public. There are also smaller internets, usually for the private use of a single organization, called intranets.\n\nInternet technology is a primitive precursor of the Information Superhighway, a theoretical goal of computer communications to provide schools, libraries, businesses, and homes universal access to quality information that will educate, inform, and entertain. In early 1996, the Internet interconnected more than 25 million computers in over 180 countries and continues to grow at a dramatic rate.\n\nHow Internets Work\nInternets are formed by connecting local networks through special computers in each network known as gateways. Gateway interconnections are made through various communication paths, including telephone lines, optical fibers, and radio links. Additional networks can be added by linking to new gateways. Information to be delivered to a remote machine is tagged with the computerized address of that particular machine.\n\nDifferent types of addressing formats are used by the various services provided by internets (see Internet address). One format is known as dotted decimal, for example: 123.45.67.89. Another format describes the name of the destination computer and other routing information, such as "machine.dept.univ.edu." The suffix at the end of the internet address designates the type of organization that owns the particular computer network, for example, educational institutions (.edu), military locations (.mil), government offices (.gov), and non-profit organizations (.org). Networks outside the United States use suffixes that indicate the country, for example (.ca) for Canada.\n\nOnce addressed, the information leaves its home network through a gateway. It is routed from gateway to gateway until it reaches the local network containing the destination machine. Internets have no central control, that is, no single computer directs the flow of information. This differentiates internets from other types of online computer services, such as CompuServe, America Online, and the Microsoft Network.\n\nThe Internet Protocol\nThe Internet Protocol is the basic software used to control an internet. This protocol specifies how gateway machines route information from the sending computer to the recipient computer. Another protocol, Transmission Control Protoc

He wants to make an Internet!\n\nBut I agree: What?

Ray Thomlinson of BBN.\n\nHe created e-mail in 1971 as one of the first distributed applications to run on ARPANET, the origial precursor to the Internet.\n\nASIDE TO DEARDEB:\nI'm sure Mr. Gore appreciates you straightening that out for us all, since he never claimed to have invented anything.
