Today we talk to Ray Tomlinson, the man who invented @ and email.

Q: When and why did you invent email?

It was in 1971 and I’m not sure there was a real reason for inventing

it. It was a fun thing to try out and probably took four to six hours to

do. I can’t remember exactly how long it took. Less than a day, spread

over a week or two.

Q: How do you feel about spam and viruses?

I get annoyed when I get spam. It’s a tough problem but we’re going

to solve it. So far the solutions aren’t working – they either fi lter too

much or not enough. We must fi nd a better way to stop spam. Viruses

are another problem and you usually get them from an email attachment

or a downloaded app or fi le. For example, an ISP could throw away

all emails with attachments, but then email wouldn’t be any use. We’ll

have to fi nd a solution.

Q: Does it bother you that you’re not a household name – that most

people don’t know what you’ve done?

No, it doesn’t bother me. Computer nerds know that I've done it. I get

emails from people who say “What you did is great. Why don’t you do

something about spam? It’s a kind of nice that some people are

interested in what I did – but it’s not the centre of my life.”
