-Removed-That's Sir Timothy to you.
By the way, Berners-Lee just invented the World Wide Web, not the entire Internet. The internet itself grew out of research done in the 60s, until ARPANet in the 80s, and it flourished from there. The Internet was therefore born in the US, not England, like you tried to imply. I'm not knocking Berners-Lee's invention of the World Wide Web, this was a genius undertaking of its own, requiring the invention of a hypertext transfer protocol, but the actual beginnings of the Internet, which no one person can take credit for, started in the US.
But I see what you did there.

-Removed-Computers themselves were actually around in the 70's and took up a whole room!!! I remember seeing that in a hospital.
Retro Delight: Gallery of Early Computers (1940s – 1960s) ... The computers in the 1940s and 1950s were mostly based on vacuum tubes. Transistors showed up late in the game, and integrated circuits were just a distant dream and didn't start showing up in computers until the 1960s, and then in very limited capacity.Feb 27, 2019

@badradger saidGoogle has posted a look back at Colossus, the world's first programmable electronic computer. Created by Tommy Flowers at the Bletchley Park decryption center in England, it was designed to intercept and interpret coded messages sent by German machines during World War II.Mar 12, 2012

@rowin-side saidRemember LAN parties?
I remember when you had to call some dude with your landline to get connected.
My friends dad would do it so we could play Leisure suit Larry which was a very adult game considering the times.
