You're both wrong, there is no single "inventor of the internet."
It was a long process that had many contributors. If you guys want to be more accurate, you should post portraits of the more important contributors along with a short description of what they did - not just "invented the internet."

Emeagwali is famed for his record-breaking calculations that garnered international headlines and inspired the reinvention of the supercomputer, the technology that gave rise to the Internet. CNN hailed Emeagwali as “a father of the Internet” while the book History of the Internet described his “theorized Internet.” His breakthroughs won him the 1989 Gordon Bell Prize, the Nobel Prize of supercomputing.
