Who invented the Internet, Timothy Berners-Lee or Amiercans?
The internet was invented in 1969 by the U.S. government. It was called Arpanet. It was created for two reasons: 1) in case of a nuclear attack, they wanted to make sure the network could still remain up, even if its main computer went down. 2) So scientists could share information with each other.
No one person invented the Internet as we know it today. However, certain major figures contributed major breakthroughs http://www.boutell.
