"Snopes.com" explains it best:

Claim: Vice-President Al Gore claimed that he "invented" the
Internet.

Status: False.

snip
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.


So it's a matter of what the definition of 'is' is ... I mean 'create' is.
Exactly what, if anything, did Gore do to 'create' the internet?
