Tim Berners-Lee did not invent the internet. He invented the World Wide Web which used the already extant internet. If you'll notice, his Wikipedia article makes no claim that could be interpreted as implying he invented the internet.Trivun said:

Well there is some Scottish inventors.
Although what I hate about these threads is that if I listed inventions I will always get quoted by an American saying that they actually invented it, such as the telephone.
