        Actually, he was credited with inventing the World Wide Web, which is not the same as the Internet.

        Read for clarification:

        The internet was not really invented by any individual, but through a collaboration of scientific minds over the course of many years.

          By a brit...
          Americans funded Einstein (a German), but that doesn't mean American came up with the Theory Of Relativity...

          P.S. Most of the technology used was European.

            Albert Einstein had an American citizenship and lived in America. So he was an American.

              Einstein was born in Germany, lived there MOST of his life, spoke German...and refered to himself as "German". So yeah...

              and no, the majority of people involved in developing the idea for the internet and actully creating her were Europeans. Try research.

            But as in the case of the internet you will find that the invention cannot be pinned down on one person the majority of the people who developed it were american
