Billion Dollar Company Builds "Innovation" Brand On Falsified History of Email
Recently a substantial controversy has arisen as to who invented email. Part of the problem is that different people use to the term to mean somewhat different things.
In the summer of 1978, an exceptionally talented high school student, VA Shiva Ayyadurai , was recruited for programming assignments at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) in Newark, New Jersey. One of his supervisors, Dr. Leslie P. Michelson , recognized his abilities and challenged him to translate the conventional paper-based interoffice and inter-organizational communication system (i.e., paper-based mail and memoranda) to an electronic communication system.
