Tim Berners-Lee didn't invent the internet, he invented the World Wide Web, which is just one thing you can use the internet for (email, telnet, FTP, etc came before TBL created the Web). If you go and find an archive of Internet Requests For Comment (RFC) and read some of the early ones you'll see a lot of the names of people involved in creating the internet itself. There's also a bit of history as a preamble to RFC 1000.

this one could run and run ! according to the below article,J. C. R. Licklider invented it ! source:http://www.forbes.com/asap/2000/1127/105.html The Internet Lick actually spent most of his first six months at ARPA on airplanes, constantly seeking out isolated research groups. On April 25, 1963, in a memo he jokingly addressed to "the members and affiliates of the Intergalactic Computer Network"�that is, to his ARPA research community�he outlined a key part of his strategy: Connect all their individual computers and time-sharing systems into a single computer network spanning the continent. True, networking technology was too primitive to attempt such a thing�yet. But Lick's mind was already racing ahead. He was soon talking about the Intergalactic Network as an electronic commons open to all: "the main and essential medium of informational interaction for governments, institutions, corporations, and individuals." It would also support electronic banking, e-commerce, and digital libraries. By the late 1960s, such visions had inspired Lick's handpicked successors at ARPA to implement his Intergalactic Network, now known as the Arpanet. (The actual contract to build the Arpanet went to BBN, appropriately enough; the little computer research group where Lick had been a vice president had matured and prospered wonderfully.) By the 1970s, moreover, ARPA had begun to expand the
