Who Invented The Internet?
One of my frequent readers in a comment to the light bulb debate mentioned that Al Gore invented the internet, which, prompted me to actually look that up. Who did invent the internet.....
It goes back further than you may think, to the 1950's actually. J.C.R. Licklider began his work on "information technology" back in 1950 and recruited a guy by the name of Lawrence Roberts to start a network. They launched on October, 29 1969 what became known as ARPANET or Advanced Projects Research Agency Network, which was the predecessor of what we now visit in our everyday lives as the internet or world wide web.
From there, The British Post Office, Telenet, DATAPAC, and TRANSPAC came together to creat the first international network in 1978. The rest is all historical and technical jargon of updating TCP and IP protocols and joining various networks until in 1989 English scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the web in 1989. It was made public on August 6th, 1991.
There's your history lesson kids, Al Gore, did not invent the internet.
But he thinks he did.
He Does think he created it:
"During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet" Gore said when asked to cite accomplishments that separate him from another Democratic presidential hopeful, former Sen. Bill Bradley of New Jersey, during an interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN on March 9, 1999.
Al Gore is making millions off of this global warming scam and it is great to see groups going after him. He must stop this see-through rhetoric, and let us everyday working class Americans live our lives instead of telling us how to live our lives while he leads a totally different lifestyle. The man is a a bobble head. Who cares if he invented the internet or not. He has done more to hurt the American people with his lies and made up global warming data than any other politician in recent history. Remember he also predicted the end of the world. If it is going to end then screw it all. Realease all the carbon you can and make the entire planet a tropical paradise for us all to enjoy.
I think he threw it in Bill Bradley
I want to leave my imprint!!! I will produce more carbon!!!
Buffaloboy do you have any sort of advertising? Say stickers or something to slap up around?
Did you look up the internet or Al Gore? This guy is a whack. He should do all americans a favor and boil himself in butter. Why is the sky falling?
While the pic is nice I think it shows a fundamental problem. He is the furthest thing from an angel on the planet but people think gore as well as obama and mccain can save them. The only way to become anything or do anything is 2 be sure you can provide for yourself and your family. That is your responsability. Don't fret over all this stuff that is recycled year after year after year.
sound like buffaloboy may be a dollar short on this one
no not yet why? I was thiinking about it.....
We all know Albert Gore did not invent the internet. he just thinks he did. So now he invented the internet, global warming, and the light bulb from an eirler post. I think he invented some tree as well, I recall in a speech from one of our national parks he called a tree a Longpole pine. No such thing.
"It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it." -- Vice President Al Gore
What the hell is he trying to say?
What Gore was implying with his statement is that he was instrumental at the time in allowing funding to go through that would help pay for what we now have as the World Wide Web.
RUSSERT: Right now there's legislation which says that a woman on death row, if she's pregnant, she should not be executed. Do you support that?
GORE: I don't what you're talking about.
RUSSERT: It's a federal statue on the books that if a woman is pregnant and she's on death row, she should not be executed.
GORE: Well, I don't know what the circumstances would be in that situation. I would--you know, it's an interesting fact situation. I'd want to think (OFF-MIKE).
The guy can't answer the question. He had no way of speeding through his head what would be the best political answer because it was a curv ball. How could he support abortion then say you can't execute a pregnant inmate??
