It doesn't matter if they hate you, or embarrass you, or simply don't appreciate your genius for inventing the internet-"" You invented the internet?", Martha said., George said." It was my idea! " Hermes said. "I mean the internet, not the rats. But that's not the point.

About This Quote

Martha thought that the internet was invented by one of the sons. George also thought that it was his idea. Hermes thought it was his rats that introduced him to the idea of the internet. The fact is that while they all contributed to the creation of the internet, none of them invented it.

Not even one. The Internet is an invention, not an idea. It was the Internet's inventor who gave it a name, making it something real and tangible.
