    I’m sorry are you crazy? Do you know any part of the internets history? American universities, government and defense contractors that created the internet.

        Thanks for the assist. I’m not an expert on the deep lore of the internet, but remember a few things from History class.

        What did the Teletubbies have to do with it then? I could have sworn early development was tied with their government research?

          You could read the article. It was actually DARPA, from the department of defense and not the CIA, who initially created the first working network. But it was some time later that CYCLADES in France demonstrated the first inter-network with a lot of the working concepts that later would make the internet as we know it today. It wouldn’t go global until we invented the TCP/IP protocols, that was a joint effort of a lot of universities over in Europe and the USA.
