He DID SHIT!

Jim is exactly right, he did shit to get the internet started !

If you would like to know EXACTLY how the internet started which by the way goes back a couple of decades, I would be more than happy to give you a lesson ! (for a consulting fee, of course, a true capitalist at heart !)

Much of it emanated from the 60's actually with the first widespread network being in the 70's. The "creation" was actually in the 60's (if we're speaking of the development on paper)

It was mostly computer professors at different institutions and universities who wanted to be able to exchange information more easily (and quicker) wasnt it?

Exactly. Universities and defense agencies were the first aboard. I believe the first was called "arpanet".
