Yes, you heard that right. it may be very difficult to believe that, email really was invented by an Indian. But sadly, he has been forgotten. his name is MR. Shiva Ayyadurai.
But how many of us know that, VA Shiva Ayyadurai an Indian-American scientist invented Email when he was just 14.
This is the story of VA Shiva Ayyadurai, a 14 year old Indian-American boy who made one of the most noteworthy inventions in the world history of technology. You heard that right too – he was just 14 when he invented the email ! Ayyadurai was born to a Tamil Family in Bombay. At the age of seven, he left with his family to live in the US.
In 1978, aged 14, he developed a full-scale emulation of the interoffice mail system which he called "E-mail". It replicated all the functions of the interoffice mail system: Inbox, Outbox, Folders, Memo, Attachments, Address Book, etc. These features are now familiar parts of every email system.Studying at Livingston High School in New Jersey, he conceived an electronic version of the system. He created a computer programme of over 50,000 lines of code, which electronically replicated all the features of the interoffice mail system
On August 30, 1982, the US government officially recognised Ayyadurai as the inventor of email by awarding him the first US Copyright for Email for his 1978 invention. Yet his name is nowhere in modern history of computer science. Whoever claims the invention, Ayyadurai will remain the father of E-mail. Hope he gets the name in history he deserves.
