Try again.
But you would not have a modern internet without it

Benny's argument was this site and our communication would not exist if America had not invented the internet .

I'm pretty a world wide net would be needed for both. At least in it's current form

Could we at least agree on that ?

I also point out that we go over Arpanet's components and their components and trace them back to none American Origins . But that would render all inventions on nationalistic lines absurd . Maybe we should all just agree that everything is Primate.

The internet existed before the www. It was civilianized before then as well. Calling it a British invention is silly. The www is the refinement. The guy who invented the automatic transmission doesn't get credit for inventing the automobile as well.

ETA: Both the solid-state and integrated circuit were American inventions as well, iirc.
