Bant Veteran Posted September 23, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 23, 2003 (edited) http://www.firstmonday.dk/issues/issue5_10/wiggins/ read that page if you are really interested in this. What Gore SaidAlthough Al Gore never claimed to have invented the Internet, he did discuss his role in Internet development in an interview with Wolf Blitzer of Cable News Network. The interview took place on March 9, 1999 during CNN's "Late Edition" show. Specifically, what Gore said was "I took the initiative in creating the Internet." A cynic might observe that "creating the Internet" and "inventing the Internet" are tantamount to the same exaggeration. But let's look at the entire quote in the context of the colloquy with Blitzer. Here is Blitzer's entire query to Gore: BLITZER: I want to get to some of the substance of domestic and international issues in a minute, but let's just wrap up a little bit of the politics right now. Why should Democrats, looking at the Democratic nomination process, support you instead of Bill Bradley, a friend of yours, a former colleague in the Senate? What do you have to bring to this that he doesn't necessarily bring to this process? Clearly, Blitzer is asking Gore to offer an explanation of how he differs as a politician from other politicians in general, and his rival at the time, Bill Bradley, in particular. Here is Gore's entire response to Blitzer's question: GORE: Well, I will be offering - I'll be offering my vision when my campaign begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping. And I hope that it will be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be. But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system. During a quarter century of public service, including most of it long before I came into my current job, I have worked to try to improve the quality of life in our country and in our world. And what I've seen during that experience is an emerging future that's very exciting, about which I'm very optimistic, and toward which I want to lead.

xpablo Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Gore was staring he invented the Internet, but what he was talking about was this so called Internet 2 which was a network that link Universities and colleges and schools together by a similar network like the internet. I dunno if this ever got off the ground and/or if it's still in use. Another was similar to the CNN transcript where he helped create the internet, Yes he Did in fact, he voted in favor of some bills that helped form the internet. Just as much as if you voted for George W to be president you helped him become president of the USA so if ya voted for George W , be sure to add it too your resume, that you assisted in the development of a political candidate become President of the USA. :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
