He had the brilliant idea of integrating the concept of digital messaging in the network, through two programs intended for sending and receiving electronic mail (SNDMSG and READMAIL). The first e-mail message sent contained only a single string of characters: “QWERTYUIOP”. Ray Tomlinson is also the originator of the use of the…    read more
