oof, wrong again amerimutt
also the Internet as you know it (as many illiterates such as yourself call the World Wide Web the “internet”), exists thanks to a Sir Tim Berners-Lee, an Englishman, best known as the inventor of the World Wide Web, HTML, the URL system, and HTTP, with honorable mentions to CERN. And before you mention ARPANET, the first actual internetwork was to UCL in London and NORSAR in Norway. DARPA also developed ARPANET in collaboration with UK and French universities, plus we can’t forget Donald Davies work at the UKs NPL in 1965 which laid the foundations.
You’re welcome from Europe for inventing or co-inventing everything you think you did, by the way.
