Sorry, but in response to the comment from Reg Fitzpatrick: Cerf IS the father of the Internet (or can certainly lay claim to be one of the founding fathers)!

Vint Cerf was key in developing the TCP/IP protocols that the Internet uses in order to function, and still takes a great interest and involvement in the continued development of aspects of the Internet.

Tim Berners-Lee developed the HTML language that is used to create web pages - the World Wide Web. He did not "create" the Internet - the Internet existed long before the Web did. So don't confuse WWW with Internet - WWW is but one facet of the Internet.

Whilst patriotism may be an admirable trait it shouldn't blind people to the true facts.
