Raymond S. Tomlinson (born 1941) – American engineer and programist Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute graduate, known as the internet email inventor and the creator of the @ sign that is used in email addressees; winner of the George R. Stibitz Computer Pioneer Award that is given by American Computer Museum April 2000.
Tomlinson was working as en engineer in Bolt Beranek and Newman enterprise in 1971, that won a contract for construction the ARPANET system. Working on the possibilities of using the ARPANET Mr. Tomlinson got an idea to join the internal communicating software with another transferring software. He has first used there @ sign to divide the address and the user name.
The exact date of sending the first email message it is still unknown. However its is said to take place between 1971 and 1972, the most probable date is October or November 1971. It is not sure that the first sign was „QWERTY” neither. Mr. Tomlinson says that it was something like that - meaning the accidental character of the email.
