Email turns 35

Monday, November 27, 2006 by Salman Siddiqui

BELIEVE it or not, the email has just turned 35.

IT programmer Ray Tomlinson sent the first message in late 1971.

"The test messages were entirely forgettable and I have, therefore, forgotten them. Most likely the first message was QWERTYUIOP or something similar," he says.

And now, 35 years on, we'd be completely lost without the joys of emailing!
