actually, the first use of the internet WAS in the late 1950's with connections between multiple computers within one base. it was NOT, as you seem to think, a hand carried process. In the 1960's the internet spread such that wiring computers spread beyond a local means to encompass multiple military installations wired together in the conus. regardless of which technological date you pick, both were LONG before Gore's time.

Because it's the Repug way -- DUH!! They can't argue against the real facts, so they rail against their version of the facts. Spin, spin, spin, don't get dizzy.

source: US military history course.
of course, you know, military instructors could be wrong about when the military first started plugging one computer into another, or maybe the military doesnt know when it wired two bases together, i could be wrong. i dont think that gore thinks he invented the internet. he DOES claim that his actions foster the developement of prominent portions of the internet, which is ridiculous.

To go back to hooking 2 computers together, the geek in me wants to point out that that's an intranet, but regardless, it is a far removed in relation to the internet as chimpanzees are to humans. It's like saying no one can claim they helped "create" or "invent" laptops because in the 1930s and 40s Turing Machines were already up and running. Anyway, rant off. This has big one huge derailment of a topic. |
