Hmmm... whom to believe? You, or Vint Cerf and Robert Kahn, who created
the TCP/IP protocol and are generally considered the "fathers of the internet"?
"Al Gore was the first political leader to recognize the importance of the
Internet and to promote and support its development. No one person or even
small group of persons exclusively "invented" the Internet. It is the result of
many years of ongoing collaboration among people in government and the
university community. But as the two people who designed the basic
architecture and the core protocols that make the Internet work, we would like
to acknowledge VP Gore's contributions as a Congressman, Senator and as Vice
President. No other elected official, to our knowledge, has made a greater
contribution over a longer period of time."
So go ahead and continue to support the ridiculous notion that Al Gore
claimed to have invented the internet. The facts speak for themselves.
