This American has been saying this for decades! 🤷‍♂️

Arrogance abounds! Unfortunately the internet is a US invention. And why there are so many Americans even on this site despite the internet being around for even more decades than me on it.

Look up the history of ARPANET

[quote]The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network was the first wide-area packet-switching network with distributed control and one of the first networks to implement the TCP/IP protocol suite. Both technologies became the technical foundation of the Internet. The ARPANET was established by the Advanced Research Projects Agency of the United States Department of Defense. [/quote]

Get more people from different countries on it!

Please! 🤷‍♂️
