CERN DID NOT INVENT THE INTERNET.... NOR DID IT INVENT THE CONCEPT OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB....

WHY OH WHY DO PPL STATE THIS AS FACT????

FACTS:
"Between 1984 and 1988 CERN began installation and operation of TCP/IP to interconnect its major internal computer systems, workstations, PC's and an accelerator control system. CERN continued to operate a limited self-developed system CERNET internally and several incompatible (typically proprietary) network protocols externally. There was considerable resistance in Europe towards more widespread use of TCP/IP and the CERN TCP/IP intranets remained isolated from the Internet until 1989."
