    Strictly speaking he invented the World Wide Web (or the http protocols for the even more extreme pedants amongst us), the Internet was invented by the US military and space agency before it became NASA - think it was called ARPANET - someone called Cerf was involved :-D

  4. Well done Great Britain, in the this world of marketing, PR, Post truth and spin I think many other countries will soon by copying ye and extoling their (percieved) virtues in their name the only other one I can think of is Burkina Faso (homeland of the uncorruptable people). How about Liberal holland, efficient Germany etc. Actually isn't India being marketed as incredible India so Its started already.:)

    In 2016 we came behind Texas, Massachusetts and California for patent registration.

    At the turn of the 20th century we accounted for over 50% of all things invented and patented, ever.

    It's not the key identifier for a nations power, but the ability to invent new things is a general sign of health and education.
