Il caffè, le cerniere (inventate negli Stati Uniti secondo Wikipedia), le chitarre elettriche e Internet inventate in Svizzera?
Mi sento stupido🙁 Mi sento stupido perché Internet mi contraddice. Devo sapere, altrimenti non potrò dormire.

What the hell is even this lol
The World Wide Web was invented at CERN, but not the internet. The internet was largely developed by the US Government, back when they could actually do stuff.
yes internet is true don’t know about the others
Also Minigolf
Internet (as in the websites you can visit using your browser) was created in CERN, which is located for the most part in Switzerland but is still the Centre EUROPÉEN de Recherche Nucléaire
The “first”electric guitar was invented in the US by two people, one of whom was born in Switzerland and left when he was basically a toddler
Wikipedia can be edited by anyone, it‘s not a source.
Check out different articles in English and in German and you‘ll notice that they differ quite a bit.
Truth is many things are hard to classify as „invented in X“ since most inventions are evolutions of prior inventions so where is the line?
Internet for example, there was ARPANET developed in the US, MINITEL in France or the WWW in Cern. This video obviously goes by the invention of the WWW and the first public reachable domain being .ch. The Americans would go by ARPANET being the first internet and thus an American invention. It‘s just propaganda in the end.
As for the Zipper question…

Several people (including Americans) seem to have invented a zipper-like product that never really saw production.
It was a Swiss guy that bought a patent and developed it into what is essentially today‘s zipper.
So yeah, it‘s just a matter of what step of the production you see as the invention of todays product: the precursor that never saw production but was obviously the idea and motivation behind todays product, or the actual product that still gets sold today?
