How did the Internet start?

The US Department of Defense started the Internet
In 1969, the US Department of Defense wanted a communication system that could not be destroyed in the event of an emergency. They linked computers over telephone lines so that if one computer failed to work, the others could still communicate with each other.

I remember seeing the Internet or WWW via a Netscape Navigator browser for the first time in May 1995.
ARPAnet started it all in 1963.

According to Al Gore, he invented it, so I guess you would have to ask that question of him.
