Although he is too modest to admit it, British inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee is attributed as inventing the internet.

See the following BBC report

Timothy Berners-Lee, the British mastermind of the world wide web, has been awarded fellowship of the Royal Society.
He is among 43 new fellows elected to the distinguished UK scientific body.

Now based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US, Professor Berners-Lee invented the web's address system and layout in Switzerland in 1990, revolutionising communication through the internet.

The award follows criticism from the new president of the 360-year-old society, Sir Robert May, that the organisation had overlooked the internet inventor.

In 1969, Leonard Kleinrock of MIT worked with Ivan Sutherland, Bob Taylor, Lawrence G. Roberts (these 3 also from MIT) Frank Heart, and Bob Kahn established the first node computers at UCLA. By September of that year, three more hosts would be implemented at Stanford Research Institute, UC Santa Barbara, and University of Utah.

The internet was originally a military secured project called ARPAnet, but did not initially have military intentions or objectives; it was only a highly sensitive concept when Kleinrock published in 1961 a paper on packet switching theory.
