"In May, 1974, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) published a paper titled "A Protocol for Packet Network Interconnection." The paper's authors -- Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn -- described a protocol called "TCP" that incorporated both connection-oriented and datagram services.
It soon became apparent to the two men that this design should be subdivided into two separate protocols. Session management was not easy to do in an application-independent way. In practice, an application could sometimes run more efficiently or be implemented more easily when it managed network connections itself. "TCP" became Internet Protocol (IP) that supported datagrams and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP/IP) that added connection semantics as a layer on top of IP".

DARPA (military) started the usenet groups
Tim Berners-Lee from CERN started the world wide web
Bill Gates just put the two together by creating windows.

Honestly, it was invented by the US army, initially only for military use. I don't know much more than that. Look it up on wikipedia.

Another person who answered your question is basicly correct, Eneida". However there was an earlier, more primitive version used by government agencies. It was implemented in about 1967.

There is no known person who really was the "founder" or inventor of the Internet. I hope this helps!

Oh, and Bill Gates was still in nappies when people started working on what is now known as the Internet.

The US government and the university system. One of the very few times it ever worked. Strange but true.
