What is the name of the person who invented internet?

Answer 1

No one person invented the internet, many people have been credited with contributing to the internets development. please see link below: No one person invented the internet. Rather it was a complex experiment conjured by many minds collaborating together. Al gore didn't invent the internet, but without his efforts it probably would not have come as far as it had. He helped make the internet score big time and for that he deserves credit. Vint Clef was the mastermind behind the ARPANet and the TCP/IP Protocol suite, which is the mother and formula of the modern internet. His buddy used to be the guy who gave out names and addresses, but he resigned and gave that authority to ICANN. If I had to name one person as the inventor of the Internet it would have to be Vint Clef. He now works for Google under the title of "Chief Internet Evangelist". Tim Berners-Lee In 1980, the Englishman Tim Berners-Lee, an independent contractor at CERN, Switzerland, built ENQUIRE, as a personal database of people and software models, but also as a way to play with hypertext; each new page of information in ENQUIRE had to be linked to an existing page. In 1984 Berners-Lee returned to CERN, and considered its problems of information presentation: physicists from around the world needed to share data, with no common machines and no common presentation software. He wrote a proposal in March 1989 for "a large hypertext database with typed links", but it generated little interest. His boss, Mike Sendall, encouraged Berners-Lee to begin implementing his system on a newly acquired NeXT workstation. He considered several names, including Information Mesh, The Information Mine (turned down as it abbreviates to TIM, the WWW's creator's name) or Mine of Information (turned down because it abbreviates to MOI which is "Me" in French), but settled on World Wide Web. He found an enthusiastic collaborator in Robert Cailliau, who rewrote the proposal (published on November 12, 1990) and sought resources within CERN. Berners-Lee and Cailliau pitched their ideas to the European Conference on Hypertext Technology in September 1990, but found no vendors who could appreciate their vision of marrying hypertext with the Internet. By Christmas 1990, Berners-Lee had built all the tools necessary for a working Web: the first Web browser, WorldWideWeb (which was also a Web editor), the first Web server (info.cern.ch), and the first Web pages that described the project itself. The browser could access Usenet newsgroups and FTP files as well. However, it could run only on the NeXT; Nicola Pellow therefore created a simple text browser that could run on almost any computer. To encourage use within CERN, they put the CERN telephone directory on the web - previously users had had to log onto the mainframe in order to look up phone numbers.

Answer 2

It wouldn't be accurate to say that any person brought about the Internet. The Internet was born out of a large project involving the military, government, universities, and corporations. Nor did the Internet as we know it begin to exist at any particular time. First, computers at research sites were connected intermittently via modems; protocols such as UUCP were added to route messages between these systems over the modem links. Eventually protocols such as IP would be developed to move away from a particular application communicating via a serial port and toward the integration of a network stack on top of or into the operating system. There were a number of milestones in this regard each of which made the network which we now call the Internet and which was born out of these early efforts look more and more like it does today. The most recent major milestone occurred in the mid 1990s when "regular people" not affiliated with universities, governments, militaries, and major corporations in the U.S. were "allowed onto" the Internet via the advent of "Internet Service Providers". Before this, the "amateur" networks such as CompuServe, GEnie, and Delphi stood separate to the Internet which was the government/education/military/corporate network.

"Leonard Kleinrock was the first to publish a paper about the idea of packet switching, which is essential to the Internet. He did so in 1961. Packet switching is the idea that packets of data can be "routed" from one place to another based on address information carried in the data, much like the address on a letter. Packet switching replaces the older concept of "circuit switching," in which an actual electrical circuit is established all the way from the source to the destination. Circuit switching was the idea behind traditional telephone exchanges." -Boutell.com
