who created the internet and in what year?

Answer 1

al gore claims he created the internet by investing in it publicly, but the internet has been around since the 1950's infact, used by the department of defense for security reasons of the US, it was not able to be used by the public back then, not until the 1980's i think. The internet picked up steam in the late 1990's, Al Gore did contribute but is not the founder.

Answer 2

No one really created the internet. It was created by the goverment because of the Cold War and was used to communicate between the goverment, universities and other 'buisness'. The goverment needed a way of communicating without any chance of being caught. Letters were dangerous so they used the internet.

So normal people didn't have internet access like we do now.

Answer 3

Well, the internet (Or it's predecessor) was created by a group working for DARPA(then ARPA) in the US in 1969 The internet's predecessor was "Arpanet" and is widely heralded as the first computer network for data exchange. The first Arpanet (to become the internet) connection outside the states was to NORSAR in Norway in 1973.

Answer 4

The Internet, then known as ARPANET, was brought online in 1969 under a contract let by the renamed Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) which initially connected four major computers at universities in the southwestern US (UCLA, Stanford Research Institute, UCSB, and the University of Utah). The contract was carried out by BBN of Cambridge, MA under Bob Kahn and went online in December 1969. By June 1970, MIT, Harvard, BBN, and Systems Development Corp (SDC) in Santa Monica, Cal. were added. By January 1971, Stanford, MIT's Lincoln Labs, Carnegie-Mellon, and Case-Western Reserve U were added. In months to come, NASA/Ames, Mitre, Burroughs, RAND, and the U of Illinois plugged in. After that, there were far too many to keep listing here.

Answer 5

In 1973 Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn began development of the protocol that was later called TCP/IP. Vin Cerf has been described as the "father of the Internet" but you could go back further, to 1962, and look at the work done by Paul Baran of the RAND Corporation, under contract to the Air Force, who was commissioned to research a method by which they could maintain command and control over their missiles and bombers in the event of a nuclear attack. He recommeded using a packet switched network.
