Al Gore as Father of Internet? *aghast*
Actually, Bill Gates, our American fella, and his friends invented Internet along with Windows programs...

Nope, Bill Gate didn't invent the Internet. It is the U.S. department of defense that is who started it. The Internet started back in 70's!
Internet Society (ISOC) All About The Internet: History of the Internet
During mid 80's U.S. post office actually invented E-mail, but because U.S. Post office didn't have patience to start with profit, so they sold to MCI. That company patiently wait for about 2 years before profit start kick in, and boom!

The reason why U.S. Department of Defense started this is because the idea of Internet is to break up the packets in data and transmit as scattered, that way, hacker won't be able to get information in one packet. then when the transmission is complete at the end, the application put puzzles together and there is information.
You see, I posted this message, NONE of them will travel at same path! Say, maybe 500 parts of this goes to 500 different paths and arrived in AllDeaf server then that server put everything together, viola! complete message body.
very rare, everything goes at same path,
Also, other reasons involved is if one server got ka-boomed by enemies, the other end can always send back ask for missing data, so no data will be lost no matter what. That is purpose of thie Internet in the first place.
Also, the first Internet, there is NO graphic interface that you see here. Just line by line text, that is it! So Internet evolved during 80's and early 90s, around 1993 that is when Internet usage started to SKYROCKET big time.

Bill Gates sure as hell did NOT invent the Internet! He had nothing to do with it. In fact, Windows was the LAST operating system to support it! (I have no clue why people give him credit for that.)
DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, invented the Internet in the 60's to aid the military. It was originally called ARPAnet: Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Yeah, i saw DHB's posts, but I had to rant anyway--I'm so sick of people giving Bill Gates credit for something he thought would never take off...)

Guess your thinking the same way I was thinking, eh?
I orignally thought it was 60's but found out it was early 70's instead. So... sometimes informaton not that accurate but close enough.
Windows started around 88, about 10 years after first DOS was invented. Bill Gate actually cheated with IBM, IBM was suckered by him.

Misconceptions in the media
Both as a Senator and Vice-President, Al Gore has been involved in the mainstreaming of the Internet since the 1970s (see Campbell-Kelly and Aspray, Computer: A History of the Information Machine, 1996:298). This involvement led to legislation during the late 1980s known informally as the 'Gore Bill'.[5] It was passed, however, as the High Performance Computing and Communication Act of 1991 [6] on December 9 1991 and led to the NII or National Information Infrastructure [7] which Gore referred to as the Information superhighway.
As a result of the publication of three articles in Wired News[8], Gore's 1999-03-09 interview on CNN's Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer became the subject of heavy satire. [9] During this interview, Gore stated:
During my service in the United States Congress I took the initiative in creating the internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system. [10]
Media reports surrounding this statement sometimes re-wrote it, stating that Gore claimed he "invented the internet".[11] However, Gore received support from members of the computer industry, notably Internet pioneers Vint Cerf and Robert E. Kahn. Cerf and Kahn issued the following statement on 2000-09-28 in response to the controversy:
[A]s the two people who designed the basic architecture and the core protocols that make the Internet work, we would like to acknowledge VP Gore's contributions as a Congressman, Senator and as Vice President. No other elected official, to our knowledge, has made a greater contribution over a longer period of time.
Last year the Vice President made a straightforward statement on his role. He said: "During my service in the United States Congress I took the initiative in creating the Internet." We don't think, as some people have argued, that Gore intended to claim he "invented" the Internet. Moreover, there is no question in our minds that while serving as Senator, Gore's initiatives had a significant and beneficial effect on the still-evolving Internet. The fact of the matter is that Gore was talking about and promoting the Internet long before most people were listening. We feel it is timely to offer our perspective.[12]
Gore, himself, poked fun at the controversy. In September 2000, as a guest on the The Late Show with David Letterman, he read a list of the "Top Ten Rejected Gore - Lieberman Campaign Slogans." Number nine on the list was: "Remember, America, I gave you the Internet, and I can take it away!" [13]
