The internet was not invented in one instance, more the internet was a slow evolution. The internet evolved from Sputnik and the United States governments own response with the Advanced Research Projects Agency which then became a part of the department of defense. The internet evolved from scientists at Berkley, Stanford and other parts of the world wanted to be able to do research projects and exchange information easily. And then, gradually, the applications continued to evolve and slowly over time become standardized. We're really talking about a twenty or thirty year evolution from the initial conceptions of computers at different academic and government institutions, that were networked together into the infrastructure that then became the world wide web, with all it's commercial applications that we have today.
