Everybody Should Say Thank You to Ray TomGnson Why should you thank Ray Tomlinson？You might have never heard of his name before，but do you know that the e-mail you use every day was his"child"？
Ray Tomlinson is known as"the father of e-mail"．He was born in New York in 1941．He attended college at the Renaselaer Polytechnic Institute，where he took part in a program with IBM，and in 1963he received a bachelor（學(xué)士） of Science in electrical engineering．
In 1971，Ray created the first e一mail system，which allowed people to send messages electronically from the same computer．But he thought that there might also be a way to send messages from different computers，which led to the birth of the e-mail we know now．He chose the@sign to separate local from global emails in the mailing address．"I used the‘@'sign to show that the user was‘a(chǎn)t'some other hosts rather than being local，"said Ray in an interview．
person to person network email was born and user@host became the standard for email addresses，
as it remains today．
Ray Tomlinson died at the age of 74．Thanks Ray Tomlinson for inventing the email and putting the@sign on the map．Though he may not be．famous as Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates，Ray Tomlinson surely has his place among the geniuses（天才）that gave us the convenience that we call"computer technology"．
