Al Gore didn't invent the Internet. To know more about the Internet's true origins, Google names like Leonard Kleinrock, J.C.R. Licklider, Robert Taylor etc. Also Google "ARPANET". For something more modern, lookup Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn.
i got ya mark. I just like busting gore's chops for some reason. I just googled as you suggested and it appears Licklider maybe the guy we should blame for these intrawebs computer contraptions. Interesting reading, thanks.
