Answer 5

I would say the US military invented it, or at least was the first to have it, use it, and slightly develop it.  It developed at an exponential pace when it was released for everyone to use, and the private enterprise system of the free world got the fast pace technological improvements in computers and internet to happen.

No one in particular invented the internet. It is all over the place being a network of computer.  

Answer 7

I've got news for all you conspiracy folks who use to internet the spread your notions that the federal government is out to get you -- the internet was invented by the U.S. Department of Defense. That's right, it was originally developed as a means for people doing defense-related research to keep each other apprised of their progress and to share information when necessary.
