Email was invented to reach out to people. The first email was sent in 1971. There’s a popular claim that credits Ray Tomlinson as the father, or inventor, of email. Ray Tomlinson worked at research and design company Bolt, Beranek and Newman as a computer programmer. In 1971, he invented a messaging system that allows for easy, internal company communication.
Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai claims to be the inventor of email as we know it. Although this claim is widely considered false, Dr. Ayyadurai maintains his position as the email’s creator. According to his claim, he invented the electronic-messaging platform in 1978, at age 14, while working as a research fellow at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. He claims to have created a software called “EMAIL” for easy communication.
