Jerry Larry Roberts was the inventor of the internet with his INTERface Message Processor. This is where the name for the internet began. Though the Military called it officially as the ARPANET, it has been called the internet since its inception in 1969. What Gore sponsored was an early version of the Web. Obviously he didn't have a clue as to what his in this bill as he didn't enven know the proper name. |

Thank you for this information "Sport Pilot" but my point wasn't who literally invented the internet, it was that Gore has been unfairly characterized as having claimed he had done so. In fact he never said that, but some people love to hate him so that they continue to throw out that quote anyway. It played well in the conservative talk shows. Corky Scott |

Not only was he dishonest, he was stupid, he never was able to explain what he was talking about. |

Sorry, he said he created the internet, not invented it. So what?

Not only was he dishonest, he was stupid, he never was able to explain what he was talking about. "Snopes.com" explains it best: Claim: Vice-President Al Gore claimed that he "invented" the Internet. Status: False. Origins: Despite the derisive references that continue even today, Al Gore did not claim he "invented" the Internet, nor did he say anything that could reasonably be interpreted that way. The "Al Gore said he 'invented' the Internet" put-downs were misleading, out-of-context distortions of something he said during an interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN's "Late Edition" program on 9 March 1999. When asked to describe what distinguished him from his challenger for the Democratic presidential nomination, Senator Bill Bradley of New Jersey, Gore replied (in part): During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system. Clearly, although Gore's phrasing was clumsy (and perhaps self-serving), he was not claiming that he "invented" the Internet (in the sense of having designed or implemented it), but that he was responsible, in an economic and legislative sense, for fostering the development the I also invented the microphone technology that we now know as the Internet. To claim that Gore was seriously trying to take credit for the "invention" of the Internet is, frankly, just silly political posturing that arose out of a close presidential campaign. Gore never used the word "invent," and the words "create" and "invent" have distinctly different meanings — the former is used in the sense of "to bring about" or "to bring into existence" while the latter is generally used to signify the first instance of someone's thinking up or implementing an idea. (To those who say the words "create" and "invent" mean exactly the same thing, we have to ask why, then, the media overwhelmingly and consistently cited Gore as having claimed he "invented" the Internet, even though he never used that word, and transcripts of what he actually said were readily available.) If President Eisenhower had said in the mid-1960s that he, while President, "created" the Interstate Highway System, we would not have seen dozens and dozens of editorials lampooning him for claiming he "invented" the concept of highways or implying that he personally went out and dug ditches across the country to help build the roadway. Everyone would have understood that Ike meant he was a driving force behind the legislation that created the highway system, and this was the very same concept Al Gore was expressing about himself with his Internet statement. Again, thanks to Snopes.com for the above comment. Corky Scott |

The people is obviously bias. I see no diferance in saying "I invented
the internet" and "I took the initiative to create the internet". Since he was obviously talking about creating a single internet network or line, as with a highway system, to create and invent is the same thing. You cannot create something that does not exist if not invented. You cannot invent without creating something. They are only differant when talking a smaller scale. You can create a new canopener that has been made before, but you can only invent it if it had not been made, but in so doing you will have created one unit. Since the internet is a new system the words have the same meaning. The arguement about President Eisenhower is moot because he never said it. Since Eisenhower actually had a head on his shouders I doubt he would have made such a gaffe. If so he would have been able to explain it. Gore didn't seem to have a clue that his legislation was about the Web, and that the internet had been invented almost two decades before his legislation. |
