Al had nothing really to do with it. His Dad was on the committee that
created the ARPANET Which became the Internet. ARPANET was originally
invented so that the government and scientists could communicate in the
event of a nuclear war. By many indvidual computers. If a could are knocked
out the system can automatically reroute. When the ARPANET was around AL was
either busy fighting in Vietnam or just got back and had no interest in
politics at that time. He didn't even get along with his Dad at that time
because of there feeling over the war.
