The U.S. of A.

The military had initially conceived of it as a reliable, fast-link communications relay that could even withstand a nuclear attack. It grew through a few select universities and colleges, in very primordial fashion. Refinements were added to make it less cryptic and user-friendly. The student community began to explore it. And a few decades later, it's best known for email, websites, and crazy little forums like this one.

To my understanding it was America. It was originally a military idea for quick communication but with the help of Al Gore has become what it is today.

And for those who keep attacking Al Gore for claiming to have invented the Internet, he did not say he invented it. He said he created it, and what he meant is that he pushed for the funding while he was a senator from Tennessee. He proposed the bill to provide funding and he personally did the lobbying. All of you (the ones doing the attacking) act like he claimed he wrote the billions of lines of code that govern the Internet, when you know full well all he claimed was that he helped fund it by providing government money. So stop with the foolishness about the Internet, when there are so many better things to go after him with. Like Florida, or Tennessee for that matter.

The United States.

The first recorded description of the social interactions that could be enabled through networking was a series of memos written by J.C.R. Licklider of Massachusettes Institute of Technology (MIT) in August 1962 discussing his "Galactic Network" concept. He envisioned a globally interconnected set of computers through which everyone could quickly access data and programs from any site. In spirit, the concept was very much like the Internet of today. Licklider was the first head of the computer research program at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA,) starting in October 1962. While at DARPA he convinced his successors at DARPA, Ivan Sutherland, Bob Taylor, and MIT researcher Lawrence G. Roberts, of the importance of this networking concept.

The USA! It was actually invented so that major universities could transmit information to each other in a quick manner, otherwise they would have to depend on the mail system which could take weeks to get to its destination.
