Tim Berners-Lee invented the Web and Vint Cerf invented the Internet. Some people often talk about one but mean the other.

They once wore custom-made t-shirts to help identify which invention was theirs! #aboutW3C

@w3c this is obviously untrue, everyone knows Jon Postel invented the Internet and web, for how could they exist without RFC, IANA, and other such critical work.

@witch_of_winter @w3c strictly speaking Jon Postel may have invented the Internet, but everyone accepts the fact that someone else did. #ProgrammerHumour

@witch_of_winter Technically nothing untrue was stated. 😃

No one person invented the internet, neither Postel nor Cerf.

EDIT: Nothing untrue was stated on the t-shirts. I noticed the text on the post just now.
