There is all sorts of discussion about how the government can be innovative -- and with all the focus on what the government is not doing, it can be easy to forget that the creation of the Internet was, in fact, a government innovation.

It was created by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) back in the 1970's.

The person at DARPA who helped lead that team that created the network protocols that are the basis of the Internet is Vint Cerf -- today widely known as the father of the Internet.

We talk more to Cerf about how the project came about.
