Did The Government Invent the Internet?

To get the information straight despite some of the political blather we get from time to time: What was a basic form of communication line set up by the Pentagon for defense purposes was not the internet as we have known it the past few decades. It was a rudimentary system that the government sat on.

Private entrepreneurs came along, many working at their homes and garages, to produce the real internet system. It’s like the word processor improving on hand written engravings of yore.

Entrepreneurs and producers, not the government, created the internet. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
