General Information:

Question: Al Gore has always been referred as a clown for saying that "He Invented the Internet". Is there any truth to this? Did he really say these things?

Answer: There is no truth as regards to the claim of some that Al Gore said he "Invented the Internet". Unfortunately for Al Gore this myth has been spread widely during the Presidential elections and has been regarded as fact as time went by. The person who started it all claimed in our first article that Al Gore never said such a thing.

"My article never used the word 'invented,' but it didn't take long for Gore's claim to morph into something he never intended."

"The terrible irony in this exchange is that while Gore certainly didn't create the Internet, he was one of the first politicians to realize that those bearded, bespectacled researchers were busy crafting something that could, just maybe, become pretty important."

Our next article meanwhile takes into account that even though Al Gore never said he "invented" the Internet, the former Vice President had a great hand in helping it take off the ground.

"Indeed, as Gore's remark began attracting wide scrutiny, some journalists reviewed his congressional record-and a wide array of Internet pioneers described his key role, within the Congress, in creating what we now call the Net. In the March 21 Washington Post, for example, Jason Schwartz quoted several Internet pioneers, including Vinton Cerf, the man often called 'the father of the Internet.' Cerf praised Gore's role in the Net's development. 'I think it is very fair to say that the Internet would not be where it is in the United States without the strong support given to it and related research areas by the vice president,' he said."

"Gore had said this: During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. Gingrich said this: Gore is the person who, in the Congress, most systematically worked to make sure that we got to an Internet."
