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

https://hackernoon.com/who-invented-the-internet-f06a7ffb7f3cIn 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?
The internet was not invented by a single person. Its creation is the result of contributions from many individuals and organizations over several decades.
The first message sent over the internet was the word "LOGIN" in 1969, from a computer at UCLA to a computer at the Stanford Research Institute.
The internet was not invented on a specific date. Its development can be traced back to the 1960s, with the creation of the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET).
The internet has evolved significantly since its inception. It has grown in size and capacity, and new technologies and protocols have been developed to improve its functionality and security.
No, Al Gore did not invent the internet. This is a common misconception based on a statement he made in a 1999 interview where he referred to himself as the "Father of the Internet" due to his work in promoting legislation that helped fund the development of the internet.
