I saw this news story last Thursday but decided against posting it as I didn't want to upset our British cousins. But i'm glad someone did.

Cultural output of Great Britain ; Parliament , Shakespeare , Dickens , Darwin , Newton , Churchill , Turing , Hawking , ....

WRONG WRONG WRONG

The Internet had its origins in 1957 and packet switching was formulated by Paul Rand (American) in 1962. The ARPANET contract was held by BBN and the physical network was constructed in 1969, linking four nodes: University of California at Los Angeles, SRI (in Stanford), University of California at Santa Barbara, and University of Utah. The network was wired together via 50 Kbps circuits.

Hence, the very first INTERNET.

Blah blah blah.

Here endeth the lesson.

That's a bit like saying the neolithic culture of Jericho in Asia 8000 BC invented the car because they created the wheel.

They simply didn't.
