I’m gonna go ahead and be that killjoy guy and point out that Al Gore never said he invented the internet.
http://www.snopes.com/quotes/internet.asp
Oh, and good podcast as ever 😛
This is where Snopes fails. Al Gore said that while in congress he “took the initiative in creating the internet.” That is the quote from the CNN interview on Snopes directly.
The quibble is that creating is not the word inventing though they have a very similar meaning in the popular vocabulary. This is splitting hairs on Snopes part when the interpretive meaning of creating is so similar to inventing.
Sorry but saying Al Gore ‘created the internet’ would amount to the same level of hubris he has been associated with if the word ‘invented’ is used instead.
If you ignore the context of the quote and the rest of what he said maybe, but he was claiming he promoted initiatives that lead to the creation of the internet, which he did.
Gore was extremely influential in the early days of the internet, he was working in congress in the 70s promoting advances in high speed communication and pushing for development funding. Given that Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf praised him as the most pivotal politician in the development of the internet and organisations such as the webbys have honoured him for his contributions I think him claiming to have spearheaded initiatives that created the internet is accurate and fair.
Anyway, this isn’t really the place for this, we should both probably yell into the void of reddit 😛
Haven’t been this apprehensive about an ITC poll before. I know voting ends on wednesday, when will results be revealed though?
