We all know why email is used and many businesses also get a lot of benefit from it. But do you know when and who invented the email? Or who are the searchers of the email?
Very few people will answer this, so today I thought why not inform you about who is the founder of the email? To know the answer, who has invented the email, read this article completely.
Who invented email?
You will be very proud to know that the person who invented the email is an Indian and the name of the inventor of the email is Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai , who is a US citizen of Indian origin.
Today, even without email, it seems difficult to walk the world. The email which has helped us in making the work easy and saving the cost of crores of paper can not be imagined.
Email is a way of sending letters from a computer or other device through an internet. This method is very easy and it can be sent from a smartphone other than a computer.
The creator of the email, Shiva Ayyadurai, was born in 1964 in a Tamil family living in Mumbai. At the age of 7, Siva settled in the US with his parents.
In the US, Shiva studied at Livingston High School in New Jersey. After some time, he got a chance to work as a research fellow at the University of Medicine and Industry, New Jersey. It was during the fellowship in 1978 that Siva designed the world’s first interoffice mail system, which got the name “e-mail”, when Shiva Ayyadurai was just 14 years old.
This program created by Ayyadurai was officially recognized as an e-mail searcher. That is, Ayyadurai was given the copyright to the email search.
At that time, copyright was the only available method to protect software search. The official US notice for email is now with the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of American History (SINMAH).
According to Ayyadurai, the real meaning of email is that it should have facilities like ‘inbox, outbox, drafts, folder, delete, archive’. He claimed that all these facilities were in his email. Ayyadurai was awarded the Westinghouse Science Talent Search Honors Award for email discovery.
Email address requires an email address consisting of username and domain name called email ID like [email protected].
The ‘@’ sign is used to connect username and domain name address. This ‘@’ was invented by Ray Tomilson .
Ray Tomilson was an American programmer who invented to send electronic messages directly between different machines on a single network. Before that the user could write messages for others using the same computer. That’s why Ray Tomilson is also considered a father of email .
