Nobody, Like Windows XP was not invented. It grew.
The USSR's launch of Sputnik spurred the United States to create the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA, later known as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA) in February 1958 to regain a technological lead. ARPA created the Information Processing Technology Office (IPTO) 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 (as opposed to Circuit 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.

I remember seeing a t.v. show a few years ago & they said the first "internet" was actually invented in the 70's by a couple of college professors... they would chat back & forth with each other through the computer instantly (like today's Instant Messages), but of course it wasnt the world wide web as we know it today.

I believe the government started with Arpanet then civilians became involved and well...you know the story from there. But I definitely think that the govt started the ball rolling with investment...

Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Ignore Al Gore if he tries to tell you otherwise. He's pretty sneaky about that.
To the guy below me, Berners-Lee worked at CERN.
