Email: The @ That Ate the World

The oldest protocol you still use. Ray Tomlinson typing the first network message and picking the @ — his own tellings, the Internet Hall of Fame tribute, a surviving 1980s UK TV demo teaching viewers to 'send an e-mail', BBC's 1986 'The Joy of E-MAIL', how SMTP actually moves a message, and a 46-minute documentary on email from ARPANET memo to global inbox.
