In English it is called simply “at”, but other languages have more interesting names. In South Africa it is
“monkey’s tail”; in Denmark it is often “pig’s tail”; in France it is sometimes “little snail”; in Greece it is
“little duck”; in Hungary it is “worm”; in Poland it is sometimes “monkey”; in Russia it is usually “little
dog”, in Sweden it is “elephant’s trunk” and Turkish emailers call it simply “ear”.

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 filter too much or not enough. We must find a better way to stop spam.
Viruses are another problem and you usually get them from an email attachment or a downloaded app
or file. For example, an ISP could throw away all emails with attachments, but then email wouldn’t be
any use. We’ll have to find 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.
