Erm, the Internet is not the web. The web is part of the internet. It may be the part that most people consider to be the internet, but the Internet also includes many other protocols and services that are nothing to do with the web. A distinction which the ironically named "Web User" appears to totally miss.

Tim Berners-Lee is the inventor of the web, and regardless of who invented the Internet (it wasnt just one person, despite what Al Gore said), he is the father of the web.
