Exactly which bit is reinvented?
Oh and BTW, it was a British scientist invented the internet too.

Uh, no. According to some, Al Gore invented the internet.

Most others agree that the internet was a confluence of several separate
parts (packet switching, innovations and protocols developed at NPL, RAND,
and MIT). Many of these pieces were hooked together in ARPANET, the first
incarnation of what would later become the Internet.

There was no single "internet" that sprang full-blown from the head of Zeus,
but virtually ALL the major pieces were developed, invented, and implemented
in the U.S.
