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 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 DARPA, 4 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.

Someone here has already mentioned "ARPANET" There are the true roots of the internet. Under the Eisenhower administration this was formed by utilizing military strategists and College work groups. So as you can see Al gore had nothing to do with the invention of the internet. He was a Senator who did help allocate funding towards it to help improve it and bring it into its modern existance. But in that vain so did we since it was our taxpayer dollars which were used. To get more details look up arpanet and I think you will be amazed.
