Who marked the beginning of the modern Internet?

Gore never said that. His detractors, like most conservatives took what he said out of context and twisted it.

In a 1999 interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, the then-vice president said that he had taken the initiative in creating the Internet, meaning that as a politician he had supported the computer scientists, programmers and engineers who built the global network through legislation.

Perry Hartline, Incorrect - as usual. Al Gore did NOT say he invented the internet. The legend arose from right wing critics and pundits who plucked a relatively credible statement Gore made during the course of an interview, altered its wording, and stripped it of context to make it seem a ridiculously self-serving falsehood. You are also wrong about global warming.

I'm sure that this is a version of an question from some time ago, as I recognised the name Timothy Berners-Lee immediately.

Congratulation to our newest author on their first published q! We'll done

Got that despite not fully understands the question!

Al Gore thought it was himself

ChiefMichael Hammonds Anderson, during a March 9, 1999 interview on CNN’s “Late Edition” show with Wolf Blitzer, Gore said “During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet.” That, at least, an exaggerated, grandiose claim. What would eventually become the Internet evolved over time, having actually begun far before he was even in politics. For him to claim initiative in “creating” the Internet is something of a whopper.

jaime alzate, Instead, I’m paying Verizon.

This question makes no sense to me at all. What does “marked the beginning of the modern internet” actually mean?

Richard Lowe, leave him alone he is not hurting you.

This question should be removed, there's no mention of marked anywhere in the explanation.

I got it, but that’s a badly written question.

Easy, my son, the computer nerd, just walked in and I asked him

HONOR TO THIS GENEROUS GENTLEMAN!! FORTUNATELY, BILL GATES WAS NOT THE WWW INVENTOR, BECAUSE WE WOULD BE PAYING TO HIM FOR USING THE INTERNET.

The inventor of the world wide web and the person who marked the beginning of the internet should have been two separate questions. They do not have the same answer. Again, quizzclub failure

Laughing. Good play.
