Fun Facts: So why do we "Surf the Internet?"

So why do we "Surf the Internet?"

In June1992, Jean Armour Polly a librarian and magazine author coined the phrase "Surfing the internet."  She was writing a paper about the internet and needed a tag line that would catch the readers eye.  She envisioned and avalanche or huge wave of information coming toward the user and the metaphor stuck.

The article was an immediate success soon thereafter many magazine and newspaper started using the phrase.  I would have giving the credit to Vinton Gray Cerf as he was the "father of the internet" and creator TCP/IP the technology that allows computers to communicate.
