This is exactly what I mean... CERF DID NOT DEVELOP TCPIP ALONE, hence all sorts of offshoots like TP-K inos, jnos etc b/c a ham radio operator who was on the tcipip dev team 'did a Torvalds'.

It's like saying Wozniak and Gates developed personal computers. It's literally idiotic and historically vacant. A stupid-ing down of the history of the internet.

Twenty-five years ago, Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web.

I've seen this claim about a number of different people and you know? It's about as ignorant a thing to say as I can imagine. One person inventing the WWW... ROTF!

MAYBE the TERM "WWW".

There are a number of well-known cases of specific individuals inventing or co-inventing specific components of the Internet and protocols on it.  TBL invented the World Wide Web in a core and well-known specific sense.  Most of us have read all about it and a few of us were experiencing it real-time, switching from FTP, telnet, and Archie to Mosaic w/ web pages.  Vint Cerf co-invented TCP/IP, commonly summarized as "invented the Internet".  I don't know of anyone else who is said to have "invented the World Wide Web".  There were people who earlier suggested some kind of linked shared information, like Ted Nelson.
