Who invented the internet?

your mother

I did, you're welcome btw.

I am pretty sure internet is fake.

Bono

Humanity

Trump, o.k. so maybe he didn't invent the internet, but he's making it interesting.

Tim Berners-Lee invented the web.

Universities did

Al Gore?

No I kid. I remember reading that "networking" computers together was first done by the Swiss, but I've also read that some American universities did it.

But it's sort of a vague question. Internet might have existed before the "web" did (pretty sure it had to). So who invented the first website? Where did the first computer-to-computer message occur?

MIT had the first ethernet with email.

Tim Bernesley-Lee invented the http (hypertext transfer protocol) for rendering pages in 1994.

But he founded the WC3 worldwide web consortium who develop standards.

Did you invent the Internet?

No, no, no!

When I was doing the WWW, most of the bits I needed were already done.

Vint Cerf and people he worked with had figured out the Internet Protocol, and also the Transmission Control Protocol.

Paul Mockapetris and friends had figured out the Domain Name System.

People had already used TCP/IP and DNS to make email, and other cool things. So I could email other people who maybe would like to help work on making the WWW.

I didn't invent the hypertext link either. The idea of jumping from one document to another had been thought about lots of people, including Vanevar Bush in 1945, and by Ted Nelson (who actually invented the word hypertext). Bush did it before computers really existed. Ted thought of a system but didn't use the internet. Doug Engelbart in the 1960's made a great system just like WWW except that it just ran on one [big] computer, as the internet hadn't been invented yet. Lots of hypertext systems had been made which just worked on one computer, and didn't link all the way across the world.

I just had to take the hypertext idea and connect it to the TCP and DNS ideas and -- ta-da! -- the World Wide Web.

A military organisation called DARPA.

@thereal25: The internet was invented by DARPA chief Donald Anderson.

Extraterrestrials they downloaded their consciousness on a server farm.

Some students in the 50's, probably

So far, it's a tie between Al Gore and Mr. Miyagi...

depends on what you mean by the "internet"

do you mean the tcp/ip protocol? the http protocol? the phyiscal link layer protocols? domain name system?

lol, I just googled that!

@thereal25: That's top secret information concealed by The Patriots.

Chuck Norris together with the honey badger.

not anymore ... :)

Internet was first invented by latinoamerican electrician engineer Alvaro Inter Vega Net in 1886.

A lot of people in several different places created the various parts of the internet that were eventually combined to create the internet.

Jesus ofc !
