      Gore never claimed to invent the internet. He was saying that he saw it's potential and was a supporter of it in Congress (purse strings and all that).

      No, he invented the World Wide Web. The internet was a project created by DARPA, for the US government. To store information and communicate.

    The Internet isn't an invention in the traditional sense (wheel), it's an application of technology that mostly had already existed.

    Imagine living in a world without internet. The difference is large: there is no internet, no social networks, no fucking memes, no swag fags, no Ray William Johnson, and everyone's distrubingly erotic relationship with bacon and their empathy for Japanese squid monsters are kept hidden. Now imagine living in a world if the wheel were never invented. The difference makes that of no internet seem arbitrary. Human civilization is completely different in every single way. I'd rather be responsible for human civilization than Ray William Johnson.

    I can't believe 315,554 people would rather be credited for the internet than the wheel. Do you have any idea how many wheels are in the average computer to keep it running? In server devices? You can't have Internet without the wheel.

      but wheels were the basis for so many of things needed in machinery like cogs and pulleys and without things like this none of our machinery would ever been able to be made at the scale it is today.

    The wheel was the greatest invention in the history of humankind. Sometimes simplicity is much more valuable than complexity. But of course, I would be dead by now. And the internet would make me rich. But, still, the wheel is the best.

    Nobody still wouldn't know who you are or care in this day and age if you invented the wheel(even though the wheel is very very important in history). . but because the internet (still in its baby years. . since its only been around for 25-35 years) and is already a huge impact. . wait until the internet has been around for 1000+ years. . . the number of creations & ideas that will come from it will be endless and mind you the internet will be way faster and powerful. . . a wheel is still what its originally is a wheel. . . i'm waiting for jetpacks & modern day objects to fly pretty soon lol

    Without the wheel, the basis of the computer, and later the Internet would never have come about. Because computers were created after 1800s factory machines that used equivalents of 1s and 0s. The wheel was a definite part of the factories history.
