Documentary on Internet History

If I had to picture in my mind the type of people that I could imagine "invented" the Internet and the tools that go along with it (email, etc.), previously to watching this documentary, I would have pictured scientific-looking people -- equipped with round glasses and perfectly pressed suits.  

If I were to describe these type of people, previous to watching the documentary, I probably could have guessed they would be entrepreneur types -- money obsessed and ultra competitive, boasting about their many accomplishments that have advanced almost every aspect of life.

What fascinating me most about the documentary was not necessarily the actual history of the Internet, which I did find interesting.  Rather, the way these brilliant inventors looks and acted -- their responses, or rather lack their of, to their major accomplishments.  For the most part, these men were laid back, taking little responsibility personally for the creation of the Internet.  Rather, each of them felt part of a major collaboration -- everyone was part of a group and no one individual was praised for anything specific.  

The reason, the documentary implied, that the Internet became so important was because it was opened up for anyone to use, regardless of computer expertise.  Virtually, anyone can buy a domain, create a website, and post basically anything they like.  The very core of the creation of the Internet is, too, deeply embedded with this sharing of information -- the idea that in order for something to be whole/successful, it needs to be a project of collaboration, full of a multitude of different ideas.
