go read a bit and come back..

The US govt did nit invented the web..

If we let you go away like that, in some week the US govt would have created
fire the wheel and the written language, and dont forget how the US created
the first boat, domesticated the cows, pigs, and horses..



one other thing... the microchip..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_circuit

The idea of integrated circuit was conceived by a radar scientist working
for the Royal Radar Establishment of the British Ministry of Defence,
Geoffrey W.A. Dummer (1909-2002), who published it at the Symposium on
Progress in Quality Electronic Components in Washington, D.C. on May 7,
1952.[1] He gave many symposia publicly to propagate his ideas. Dummer
unsuccessfully attempted to build such a circuit in 1956.

the USA did not invent the microchip.. they developed it.. but no
invention..



On the transistor..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor

Physicist Julius Edgar Lilienfeld filed the first patent for a transistor in
Canada in 1925, describing a device similar to a Field Effect Transistor or
"FET".[1] However, Lilienfeld did not publish any research articles about
his devices,[citation needed] nor did his patent cite any examples of
devices actually constructed. In 1934, German inventor Oskar Heil patented a
similar device.[2]

Again no invention.. developed from idea's made by other's.. but no
invention...
