Subject: [NTLUG:Discuss] Who Invented the Internet!


I haven't posted here in a while but I saw something rather scary
today that
I thought I would pass along.  On the home page at work there is a
daily
survey.  Today's topic was 'Who invented the Internet'.  There were
4
choices.

	1. ARPA
	2. Microsoft
	3. University of Texas
	4. Smithsonian Institute

I voted and then checked the results.  ARPA, the correct answer, had
just
over 50% of the votes.  But to my surprise a good 25% chose
Microsoft.  That
many people think Microsoft invented the Internet!!

Mind you I don't know how many had actually voted.  Also I think the
voting
is corporate wide, not just the IS department.  But still I would
hate to
think this is a representative sample.
