    the person who wrote the article is… not a great thinker but you get some good answers from Cerf, so worth a read.

    The first mistake the author makes is thst Tim Berners-Lee is not one of the fathers of the internet but of the world wide web. it runs on the application layet of the internet and came decades later.

    The second mistake is corrected by Cerf. the difference between a discovery and an invention.

      The number of times that I have been downvoted into oblivion for pointing out that the Internet is not the World Wide Web is too damn high.
