@darkcarnivaleric @onthisday You're welcome. It was Al Gore's promotion of the ARPANET to Congress that kept the project funded. He was the only Congresscritter who understoiod it, saw the value of it, the only computer geek. Through that period he was the go-to guy in Congress where fellow members from both parties went with tech questions as computers proliferated into Congress's offices.
No, he did not invent the Internet. Lol.
@shuttersparks @darkcarnivaleric @onthisday obviously we have ted stevens to thank for that - i'm fairly certain he was responsible for laying the first internet tubes that are still in use today!
@shuttersparks @darkcarnivaleric @onthisday I always kinda liked Al...not the wife but him...
