The first TCP/IP-wide area network was made operational
by January 1, 1983 when all hosts on the ARPANET were
switched over from the older NCP protocols to TCP/IP. In
1985, the United States' National Science Foundation
(NSF) commissioned the construction of a university 56
kilobit/second network backbone using computers called
"fuzzballs" by their inventor, David Mills. The
following year, NSF sponsored the development of a
higher speed
1.5 megabit/second backbone that become the NSFNet. A
key decision to use the DARPA TCP/IP protocols was made
by Dennis Jennings, then in charge of the Supercomputer
program at NSF."
That's TCP/IP. Hate to side with these guys, but they're
right this time. The World Wide Web and HTTP were
invented in 1990 by Tim Berners-Lee.
Agreed.
