At the age of 74, a legend in the field of developers, Ray Tomlinson, who invented e-mail, also known as email, died. His death came after a heart attack on Saturday morning.
Ο Ray Tomlinson έγινε θρύλος για την εφεύρεσή το 1971 ενός συστήματος που επέτρεπε σε ένα χρήστη στο δίκτυο ARPANET - προκάτοχο του σημερινού Internet - να στέλνει γραπτό message to other computer users on the network.
He was the one who added the @ symbol to address email in order to separate the name from the hostname.
