Nah, that was ARPANET. The internet (www) was invented because particle physicists were too lazy to carry magnetic tapes with experimental data around CERN.

To be entirely clear, the Internet is also not the World Wide Web. Which is what I believe you and @[email protected] are referring to.

Thank god! I'm also too lazy to carry around my magnetic tapes. I'm glad that happened.
