Maybe "saved the world" and "invented" the internet? Because yeah of course, the internet has been "invented"! It was absolutely not a natural evolution of local networking based on known technology...

Through that sort of reasoning, computers have never been invented. They are just a natural evolution of mechanical calculators. I mean, sure, but that definition of "invent" is so narrow as to be meaningless.

Internet is a US invention as much as lightbulbs are a US invention.
