That is a myth. Al Gore was not the first to use that term.

"In December 1974, RFC 675 (Specification of Internet Transmission Control Program), by Vinton Cerf, Yogen Dalal, and Carl Sunshine, used the term internet as a shorthand for internetworking and later RFCs repeated this use".


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet




The term was first used in 1985 by the 45th US Vice President (1993-2001) Al Gore (born 1948)
