Who invented the Internet?

November 17, 2007 by Amit Bhawani

The well-said proverb goes like this – “Success has many fathers, failure only a few”, this goes same with Internet. Al Gore is chiefly recognized as a father of Internet. Many people claimed to be so, but Gore carried high impact on people. He was the first political leader to understand the significance of Internet and support its growth. But this is not the pure fact; by claming the invention of Internet, Gore meant he was responsible in an economic and governmental sense for enhancing the technology that is identified as Internet. The invention of Internet had often faced precipitated by times of war.

There was not single person that invented Internet, actually it is the outcome of several years of continuing collaboration between governmental people and university group. However, the major contribution was from two people that helped in making basic architecture and essential protocols, VP Gore contributed as a Congressman, Senator and as Vice President. Until 1990 Internet was not accessible for general public for usage. It is only after 1976 it was spread across globally and this was the time of linkage of network to Europe as well. It gradually improved in upcoming years when IBM came up with ‘store and forward’ network, which we call as E-mail. So there were whole group of community of scientists, physicists and intelligent brains that contributed towards the Invention of Internet. Thanks to the contributed that it enabled us to work together and share information with each other all over the globe.

    Al Gore the father of Internet? Didn’t at all know that. Internet has gone to a very different level from what it was earlier.
