	Inventing Internet - Janet Abbate - MIT Press
		It ends with the emergence of the Internet and its rapid and seemingly chaotic growth.
		In Inventing the Internet, Janet Abbate recounts the key players and technologies that allowed the Internet to develop; but her main focus is always on the social and cultural factors that influenced the Internet's design and use.
		The story she unfolds is an often twisting tale of collaboration and conflict among a remarkable variety of players, including government and military agencies, computer scientists in academia and industry, graduate students, telecommunications companies, standards organizations, and network users.

	Al Gore and Inventing the Internet
		The creation of the Internet was a process that had several phases and took several years, and Gore is claiming the principal credit for the political side of that effort.
		Cerf in particular is quoted as saying this: I think it is very fair to say that the Internet would not be where it is in the United States without the strong support given to it and related research areas by the vice president in his current role and in his earlier role as senator.
		The "Internet" controversy is first connected to the then-developing "pattern" of suppose d reinventions and exaggerations by Al Gore on 3/21/99.

	Janet Abbate, Inventing the Internet (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1999) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Her background (She worked as a computer programmer in the 1980s and early 1990s before pursuing graduate studies in history at Rutgers University) enables her to recognize the social and cultural dimensions of the Internet’s development and to present them clearly as an interconnected web of causation that is perfectly appropriate for her topic.
		Abbate traces her story from the familiar account of the Internet’s origins in Cold War think tanks and defense department initiatives to the explosion and chaotic growth of the World Wide Web in the early 1990s.

		This is not a promotional pat on the back to the companies that helped popularize the Internet, nor does it glorify dot-coms or any of their fearless leaders.
		In fact, Abbate devotes the first 75% of her book to the precursor to the public Internet -- the ARPANET system used by scientists, researchers and the U.S. military.

	No one said Boo about Gore's remark. Then, the RNC spin-points arrived
		In her influential report, Mittelstadt committed one of the press corps’ most common sins; she took an unremarkable statement by Gore and paraphrased it in the most tendentious way possible—which also happened to be the way Gore’s political rivals were spinning it.
		Gore invented the Internet, which means the vice president is responsible for making hard-core pornography available to elementary schoolchildren at the local library.
		Invented the Internet is an obvious case in which “Republican talking points” were deftly “injected” into the work of the mainstream press.

		As a consequence of any explosive phenomenon, and the Internet certainly qualifies, over time a smaller percentage of those who are involved remember the early events and culture that came before them.
		Despite the Internet revolution being all about access to diverse information, it has done a remarkably poor job of chronicling its own history.
		As the generation that began work on the very beginnings of the Internet pass through middle age and beyond, it is important to capture their first hand accounts of the history they made.
