He did say that he invented the internet. I heard it with my own ears, said by him. Silly liberals, changing the truth again.

When Al Gore claimed to have created (important here that we use create, not invent) the internet, he wasn't saying that he wrote the billions of lines of code that run the internet; what he was saying was that he saw the potential of the internet before it was what it is today and therefore sponsored the bill that provided the funding for the internet in its current form. But republican nutjobs on TV (mostly Fox News) took that in a whole other direction from what he meant and made him look like a fool for saying it. But he didn't say anything that wasn't true.

Gore quote actually was "During my service in the United States Congress I took the initiative in creating the internet." It was spun in a way that he created the internet, though that was never his claim. He did introdice to legislation the "gore bill" which was later passed as the High Performance Computing Act of 1991.
The actual pioneers(Vint Cerf and Robert E. Kahn) of the internet backed up AL Gore with this "No other elected official, to our knowledge, has made a greater contribution over a longer period of time"
It's a shame such an educated population are that easy to manipulate.

All Gore didn't invent the Internet and he never said he did. He did, as a Senator, help obtain funding for converting the military's Arpanet to civilians uses - he co-sponsored the bill. He never claimed to do otherwise. The 'Al Gore invented the Internet' thing came from a RNC smear campaign. You're old enough to know better than to believe everything you hear in advertisements.

if the Internet invented Al Gore, there needs to be a major programming adjustment. It's got a really bad bug!

Al Gore was the politician who worked with the true inventors of the internet to get it's original acceptance in the government. He did have a role in the early internet.
Seems the Republicans were jealous of this and put a negative spin on it.
Nothing new . . . .

Well he as a member of congress and an Jr. member at the time did vote yea.
Cold war, how to protect info from nuke attack?
There were at the time 2 versions of the net.
One was a central computer that would contain the information and all would connect to that computer. make the site a hard target.
The other is to have a large number of computers inter connected in a way that if some are destroyed the others remain and mostly intact.
Opt 2 passed (even if AOL would have you believe otherwise- LOL)

George w. Bush's spin doctors invented that he invented the internet.
He actually said that he IMPLEMENTED the internet, which he did.
Silly, lying republicans.
