Birthday email

Today, e-mail is a familiar means of communication, without which it is difficult to imagine the life of a modern person. It is not only used directly for communication, but is also necessary for registration on various services and serves as a means of identification. Such a useful invention could not do without its own holiday - the birthday of e-mail is celebrated on October 2. According to one version, it was on this day back in 1971 that the world's first electronic message was composed. According to another, the date was chosen arbitrarily, and the exact day the message was sent is now unknown. The first innovative message was sent by the leading engineer of BBN Technologies, Ray Tomlinson. He made many contributions to the creation of email, including the invention of the "@" symbol, which is now commonly used when registering email addresses. And the inventor of a fundamentally new method of communication was Douglas Engelbart, an outstanding scientist who worked at the Stanford Research Institute. Moreover, this is not his only discovery. Engelbart is also the creator of the computer mouse, another indispensable device for modern man. The average user receives dozens of emails in their email every day. With its help, business and personal correspondence is carried out, documents, videos and photographs are sent. The birthday of email is celebrated all over the world, but mainly by people who constantly use it in their professional activities. For the most part, these are specialists in the field of IT technologies and programmers. Some large international companies celebrate this day, organize entertainment themed events, and creative performances by employees. How to spend a day dedicated to creating email? There are no clear criteria for celebration. You can do the following: 1. Tell friends and family about the existence of such a holiday. After all, most people don't even know about it. Ordinary people often don’t even think about when exactly email was invented, or how important a role it plays in our lives. 2. Post birthday email information on your social media pages. This way a wide range of people will know about the date. 3. Send congratulatory letters to all your friends. This is a traditional and logical way to celebrate. Various mail systems also send out congratulatory mailings to users on this day. 4. Organize a small thematic corporate event at work. It is best to prepare for the event in advance. You can organize several competitions, ask riddles, read humorous poems about modern technologies.
