Ray Tomlinson was born in New York State. He sent the world’s f 1. email and let us have the use of the @ symbol in electronic communications. Tomlinson wrote a program in 1971 that a 2. messages to be exchanged between different computers. Before that time, electronic messages had only been exchanged between people using the s 3. main unit.
At the time of his invention, Tomlinson was researching possible uses for the ArpaNet—the US military (军方) network that formed the base of the Internet, and showed an i 4. in improving the use of ArpaNet’s “mailbox(邮箱)”, which made users send messages to the mailboxes possible. In the past, people had to print out the message and p 5. it in the mailbox. This achievement made a great difference in people’s life.
Tomlinson also came up with the i 6. of using the “@” symbol to separate the name of the receiver from the name of the host, creating the standard still used today. Although it had a history of o 7. forty years, Tomlinson said email had not changed much since its invention.
Tomlinson studied electrical engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic and t 8. got his masters (硕士学位) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He joined a company called Bolt, Beranek, and Newman in 1967, and stayed there the r 9. of his life. He died at the age of 74. The company was later acquired (收购) by Raytheon.
“A true technology pioneer and his work changed the w 10. the world communicates.” Ratheon said. “It is with great sadness we know the passing of our friend.”
