On the Information Superhighway

The Blog | Robert J. Elisberg: The Return of Al Gore: Apparently, It is That Easy Being Green | The Huffington Post:

. . .That leaves but the matter of Al Gore, inventor of the Internet. "During my service in the United States Congress," Gore said to Wolf Blitzer on CNN, "I took the initiative in creating the Internet."

That's it. And the men who are considered inventors of the Internet, Dr. Vinton Cerf and Dr. Robert Kahn, agree!

"...As the two people who designed the basic architecture and the core protocols that make the Internet work,," they wrote, "we would like to acknowledge VP Gore's contributions as a Congressman, Senator and as Vice President. No other elected official, to our knowledge, has made a greater contribution over a longer period of time. . ."
