   TCP/IP was designed in the 70's, and the Internet was started officially   
   in 1983.  I was at one of the universities connected to the network when   
   it happened, when the ARPANET protocols were shut down and we started   
   using TCP/IP to operate the Internet.  All the basic protocols were   
   designed by then, although there has been ongoing refinement and   
   enhancement over the decades since then.

   Could you please point to the RFC's that you contributed to?  I didn't   
   find any when I googled you.
