my understanding of the internets origin is that the military back in the 70s needed a way to send data during a nuke war.  EMP and fallout would not permit this so the internet was born.  Then colleges started sharing info on the same lines....than  BANG ISPs sprang up like AOL and prodigy.  

I'm not sure how Europe or the rest of the world got invited but I do know that huge phone lines at the time were being installed over the atlantic.....than fiber.  

How did it spring up in europe?  I actually have no clue?

America gave the world the internet. Internet gave the world personalities like Voss and Lada.

Applying the associative property to these statements: America gave the world Voss and Lada.

Most convincing reason yet to hate the US.
