A recent HackerNoon article delves into history on who created the internet:

In the autumn of 1969, a small group of people launched the most disruptive revolution of our time — and yet their names aren’t taught in high school history books, nor do we take off work to celebrate their birthdays. In this piece, I’d like to take a look at two questions: Who invented the internet? And what exactly they did they do?

Wow thank you. I’ve downloaded it to keep around in my ebooks collection,

These paradigm changes are always fascinating to read about. Starting with an enabling science theory to enabling technology to what we have today.
