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)

the military (darpa) which you lefties hate invented it. I'm surprise you are using it, it's cultural appropriation. do your lefties friend know you are using a military invention The computer networking revolution began in the early 1960s and has led us to today?s technology. The Internet was first invented for military purposes, and then expanded to the purpose of communication among scientists. The invention also came about in part by the increasing need for computers in the 1960s. During the Cold War, it was essential to have communications links between military and university computers that would not be disrupted by bombs or enemy spies. In order to solve the problem, in 1968 DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) made contracts with BBN (Bolt, Beranek and Newman) to create ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network).
