Sir Timothy "Tim" John Berners-Lee, KBE, FRS (TimBL or TBL)
He invented the world wide web. The world wide web is NOT the internet, but is a part of it.
The internet it the hardware and software that the world wide web runs on.
It was NOT the military or Al Gore or any other stupid American Myth.

The Englishman Tim Berners-Lee (currently Director of the World Wide Web Consortium) is usually credited with inventing the world wide web in 1989 when he was working at the particle physics lab called CERN in Switzerland. He then wrote the first web browser in 1990.
Al Gore did some political stuff later to help the web grow (in the USA).

Tim Berners-Lee
The World Wide Web was invented by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989, with the first working system deployed in 1990, while he was working at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research). He went on to found the World Wide Web Consortium, which seeks to standardize and improve World Wide Web-related things such as the HTML markup language in which web pages are written.

Well, Tim Berners-Lee created the first browser of the internet, but Robert Kahn and Vint Cerf developed and created TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and developed IP (Internet protocol) as a more basic function of TCP. The two were paired and are known as TCP/IP and are adopted world wide as the main Inter-networking protocols, which is still the basis of the Internet today.
These guys created the set of rules and regulations that govern how PC's and Servers talk to each other and communicate, Tim Berners-Lee developed Hypertext, which allowed the creation of programming languages and web browsers, but they wouldn't be of any use without the ability to become part of a global network, which is what TCP/IP does.

The army first used it so that if the main computer went down the whole defence system would shut down. After that alot of places like libraries and stuff begun using it.
It slowly spread that way
No one really invented it

Ok, this link doesn't prove that it was the military who invented it but they set it up originally for rapid comms' and it just took off from there.
