We didn't invent the internet. Tim Berners Lee developed a way of storing and linking documents over the internet. His work grew into the world wide web.

Correct. Invented by US Army/Navy.

Dragging 50 ton stones 150 miles, though it never caught on.

The French might have something to say about this.

They might, but they'd be wrong. They did do some pioneering work on a self-propelled, protected cannon, but it was abandoned before WW1 broke out and the British developed and used the first practical tank. Italy (through Leonardo Da Vinci) also could claim to have invented it as well.

Pretty sure the first TV pictures were transmitted when he lived in Hastings. His shop was in Queens Arcade Hastings. I think Dean White once had a TV shop in Queens Arcade too. Not sure if the same one. Logie Baird died in Bexhill after the war.
