I'm sorry BC but the internet was created by one man (English) at (CERN) to establish a way of multiple computers to talk to each other in a network. Hence the internet was born only because CERN gave it up because it was very primitive and unneccesary to there needs today.


networks existed long before the internet. did he create IP and TCP/IP? doubtful. both of those are core parts of what the internet consists of.

No matter how many different way's Americans want to think they did they did NOT! The world wide web was created in Europe by an English man not some random story Americans made up.

If you would actually watch the video, it was created in combonation with all the pre-internets.

Guys...this is just becoming a major rant thread over who invented what...I suggest that the topic be split from where the ranting begins, and placed in off topic.

That may be BC, I'm a poet and did not no it... Sorry. But the ZX was the beginning of games programming where you, me, her and him could design and write our own games and people did. It was the birth of consumer gaming and started here in jolly old England! Even the web was created by an English man at CERN, where would we be to today without the plucky Brits. Lol
That's how...

    Mulreay, He created HTTP, for transfer of files over the World Wide Web(The Internet is a platform for the WWW)

    ARPANET is the actual original internet even though its not running anymore.

    The Protocals including the current(TCP/IP Protocal) were developed by ARPANET, NPL, and a few other networks.

    The WWW uses these core protocals and of course HTTP for transfer and transmit/recieve of info(This is what then created HTML, the main transfer language of the WWW)
    If you dont know DOS, you dont know Windows...

    Thats why Bill Gates created the Windows NT Family.

      Never played one, but they did look quite fun.

      But can't believed I did this but I'm glad that GBAs have Flash memory instead, had to replace the RAM battery on my bro's Pokemon Crystal Version(the battery was getting low and corrupting the memory)
