Whose presidential campaign was the source of these exact words “ Al Gore invented the internet" If you look it up may your internet immediately cease to function. 😉

Yep! And more. Al Gore did in fact contribute greatly to the advancement of arpanet and NSFnet, funding for Mark Andreesen who at this point needs no funding and much more. Gore was definitely ahead of his time, perhaps did self promote a bit, but he did help move things forward.
