Article by David Konow.

"WarGames," the iconic techno-thriller, was one of the first films that focused on the fine art of computer hacking. Now 25 years after its release, Tom's Games looks back at the classic film.

JOHN BADHAM: but this was before Al Gore invented the Internet.



My God, how dumb are people? Al Gore did not invent the internet!!!

He did jump start companies investing in infrastructure and technologies of the internet as Vice President. That is a far cry from "inventing" it. The net has no single author per se, rather several highly intelligent researchers who discovered different facets / put different facets together.

Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web which most people confuse with the internet. They are closely related, but are very different.

Lighten up, Francis.

I read the context of the quote and it's pretty clear to me it was meant sarcastically, or in jest.

Just to clarify, the movie that Badham is referring to is Colossus: The Forbin Project. I actually never heard of that movie until I read the interview and just put it on the top of my netflix queue.
