@FrankieUKK wikipedia isn't the most reliable source, at one point some one said that hitler was god. this happened in 2006
-
A British man invented the internet even Wikipedia says it so all im going to say is, FUCK YOU AMERICA, you didn't invent shit and the British invented the tv, fuck yo.
-
another take:
the nature of the internet - standardization - happened *because* it was free. his achievement is like open source, something that by definition could never be charged for (although one can still make money from associated skills)
-
@Monchanger The Web IS the modern day Internet.
-
@dinogrower The first links were at NPL, due to Donald Davies. Another British invention that Americans like to take credit for.
-
@jsmith19810808 That's just the US arm of it.

@sheriffofsw7 Wrong.
-
@sheriffofsw7 Donald Davies came up with packet switching, and put it into the first network, at the UK's NPL in 1970. TCP is not the Internet.
-
@Anantko No, APRA was an american packet-switching network. The Internet is the culmination of several.
-
Yes, people tend to confuse Internet and the services available on this network.
TBL is the most generous and genius man in history. He could have dwarfed the Walton's and Gate's in wealth with this powerful program, but he chose to give it to the world for free. He sacrificed wealth for the freedom of information.
