| Just for the record, no ONE person gets credit for 'Inventing the Internet." There are a few names that helped bring it all together.
Leonard Kleinrock: The concept of packet switching(sending packets of data from one computer to another via addresses)
J.C.R. Licklider: His "Galactic Network" was the first idea of a World Wide network.
Larry G. Roberts: For creating the first working long-distance network of computers.
Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf: For inventing the Transmission Control Protocol(TCP) that actually moves the data packets.
