ray-tomlinsonYou could possibly blame one man for all the spam in your inbox, however just over a week the inventor of email, Ray Tomlinson, passed away at the age of 74.

You may not realise that email is actually older than the modern internet and was a work in progress back in 1971.   At the time Ray knew he was onto something big but never imagined exactly how much of a role it would play on a global scale.

Here’s a great short video that will take you back to where email began.  RIP Ray Tomlinson.
