How the First Email Was Sent and Why It Matters

In this episode of Tech History with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore the origin of email — the first message sent over a network in 1971 by Ray Tomlinson. They break down why that simple test changed communication forever, from the choice of the @ symbol to the cultural shift from letters to inboxes. Along the way, they discuss how early email protocols were built on existing systems like ARPANET, and why the invention wasn't a grand announcement but a quiet experiment. Perfect for anyone curious about how the tools we take for granted actually began. #Email #RayTomlinson #ARPANET #Technology #TechHistory #SiliconValley #Innovation #DigitalCommunication #Inbox #Symbol #Protocol #1970s #Networking #Internet #Computing #BellLabs #BBN #FexingoBusiness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
