u remember when he said he was one of the key members who created it? Of course, the network was originally a military idea.

Originally, the Internet was called the ARPANet and came out of the Dept. of Defense Advanced Research Project Agency. You can find a PDF discussion By Dr. Peter J. Denning at this link if you want to know more.

Tim Berners-Lee founded the world wide web.

Right, Tim Berners-Lee developed the foundation of HTML, the http protocol, and URLs. He didn't invent the browser though. (It's in the paper I cited, btw.)

Is he American? Because my teacher was spouting some BS about how it was made by foreigners.
