Today (December 2, 1963) is the birthday of Siva Ayyadurai, the proud father of email, who first invented email (MAIL).
V. A. Shiva Ayyadurai was born on
December 2, 1963, in Tamil Nadu to a Tamil family. He immigrated to the United
States with his family when she was 7 years old. He holds a bachelor's degree
in electrical engineering and computer science from the prestigious MIT
University in the United States. He later earned a master's degree in animation
for films. He then graduated from AIT with a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
He went on to study in India and received the Fulbright Student Scholarship
Award for 2007-2008. In 2007 he received his M.Sc. in Biological Engineering.
I. Received a doctorate from D.
In 1996, when Ayyadurai was the
head of Millennium Productions, he founded Art-Online.com and two e-companies,
Harvard-Square.com. Based on this workshop he has written two books: "Arts
and the Internet", published in 1996 by Allworth Press, New York. In 1997
he published a book entitled "The Internet Publicity Guide" by the
same Alvorth publisher. Ayyadurai is the founder of EchoMail, Inc. He has been
awarded three patents in the field of email maintenance: all three of his
inventions have been licensed to General Interactive (Inc.).
Ayyadurai, a 14-year-old student
at Livingston High School in New Jersey, began his email in 1979. He developed
a new method of sending e-mails to the University of Medicine and Dentistry of
New Jersey. Based on this, he won the Westinghouse Science Talent Search award
for high school students in 1981 under the prestigious Westinghouse Science
Talent Search Award. In an interview with Time Magazine's November 2011 issue
of Techland in Doug Aamouth, Doug Aamouth said, "How did Merkel create the
e-mail we know today?" In that interview, Brookevan explained that Leslie
Michelson, a nuclear scientist at the National Laboratory, had told Eid to
implement the idea of creating an email. He was tasked with developing a
method of sending notes called memo on paper. It is your responsibility to
implement this. No one has ever done this before ("Your job is to convert
that into an electronic format. Nobody's done that before").
In February 2012, the Sumitzonian
American National Museum of History received the documents and source code provided
by Aiadurai. Ayyadurai's claims have been corrected in several media reports
and refuted by industry insiders. The Smithsonian Institution did not come to
the conclusion that Aiadurai was the first to invent email (EMAIL), but
explained that the documents he provided were historically significant in
computer education, the use of the computer in medicine, and so on. According
to Sam Biddle for Gizmodo magazine, Ray Tomlinson emailed text messages between
two computers as early as 1971. According to Sam Fiddle, Tomlinson said,
"(We) had the required headlines when sending the message (recipient
(" to "), step (" cc "), etc., with notes on what topic and
on what date). But Fidel claims that Aiadurai may have coined the term EMAIL in
the first place, and may have unknowingly discovered Thomlinson's actions.
Thomas Haigh, an information
technology historian at the University of Wisconsin, wrote on the website of
the Special Interest Group Computers, Information and Society website:
"Ayyadurai is, to the best of my knowledge, the only person. claimed for
him or herself the title 'inventor of email. " (To the best of my
knowledge, Ayyadurai claims to be the only inventor of email. While he was a
teenager, his work was valued, although there were no pre-existing features in
his work. Thomas Aiku says the news of Ayodhya's discovery has come too late,
and somehow he's announced to the world the greatest innovation he has ever
discovered thirty years later. Computer historian Marc Weber, director of the
Computer History Museum, says: "(By 1978) nearly all the features we're
familiar with today had appeared on one system or another over the previous
dozen years ", including emoticons, mailing lists, flame wars and spam.
David Crocker, a member of the
ARPANET research team, says there was no disagreement about the origin of the
email before the controversy erupted. When writing about email history in the
Washington Post, he said that the technical aspects of email came from many
innovators. He also claims that e-mail, which has been in use for a long
time, was invented by a 14-year-old man in the late 1970s.
He argues that what Thomlinson,
Tom Van Vleck, and others did was not just a system of sending notes, but of an
integrated email system of sending from one office to another. In response to
critics of his claims, AAyyadurai claims on his website that his
"EMAIL" was the first type of email system to be electronically
transmitted on paper, operated by a fully integrated database. Says the first
system that had as many components as there is today in web-home-powered emails
like "Gmail" and "Hotmail". Ayyadurai M. Noam Chomsky, a
professor who studied for a bachelor's degree in IT, lashes out at critics. The
industry cannot be distracted from the facts by the childish antics and
confusions raised by internal audiences.
Born in India, a citizen of the
United States, he is a scientist, innovator and entrepreneur. He is best known
for developing an email management system called "EMAIL" and patented
the name. Some central media outlets have claimed that he was the inventor of
the email. This claim is controversial. In 1978, while still in high school, he
developed and established the e - mail email system, also known as
"EMAIL". The patent was obtained in 1982 from the United States
Patent Office. Today, there is a lot of controversy about the similarity of the
email system he created to the generic name "email", and many
conflicting opinions about the place of Siva Ayyadurai in computer history.
