Who invented the internet?

Answer 1

No one person invented the Internet. It was originally designed for the military as a means of communicating more efficiently. Al Gore, despite what Republicans try to spin, was deeply involved in its design. So no, he didn't invent the Internet but he did help design it.

Answer 2

Vint Cerf is usually credited as the "father" of the internet. He was the primary developer behind TCP/IP which is the basis for the WWW.

As a side note, Al Gore never claimed to have "invented" the internet. He said he promoted the creation of the internet (with technology-based legislation), which he did. Vint Cerf credits him highly with being a primary force behind making the WWW accessible. Some retarded Republicans just listen to Rush Limbaugh and take his word for gospel and believes his lies about Gore.

Answer 3

The Department of Defense created the ARPANet / DARPANet and Transport Control Protocol Internet Protocol in conjunction with it. This network was the basis for a redundant link network whose purpose was to demonstrate that if one physical link was destroyed other links would automatically "metric cost" find the next serviceable route. CERN and then some universities got involved near the end of the government funded project and took over. The government kept its own private WAN for military command and control purposes. This network is not connected to the Internet. Telecommunications companies maintained control / ownership over the lines, and servers (UNIX) were maintained at universities, then CERN then NASA, then Texaco... The first killer app to really launch the usefulness of the system was electronic mail, developed in California. Further development of a document standard in public directories with a special purpose document formatting program is what we today call Hypertext, and Metafile Language. The special program is now called a web browser. This process works over a subset of TCPIP called hypertext transport protocol. Lastly, another subset of tcpip was developed for nearly instant communications... Internet Relay Chat (IRC).. all IM programs of today are IRC programs wrapped in fancy packaging.

Answer 6

It was created in 1969 as a U.S. Department of Defense project, named ARPANET. It later switched over to MILNET in the 1980's, and became the Internet in 1991 or so.

Answer 7

California University, MIT, Harvard

Answer 8

Research on dividing information into packets and switching them from computer to computer began in the 1960s. The U.S. Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) funded a research project that created a packet switching network known as the ARPANET.

Answer 10

There were actually several think tanks who were the original " architects' of the internet. One of those guys now says the entire internet is already outdated and needs to be revamped to make it more secure against identity theft and predators. Waaaaay beyond me !!!
