Ray Tomlinson was an American computer programmer best known for his pioneering work in the development of email. In 1971, while working on the ARPANET, he implemented the first networked email system, allowing messages to be sent between users on different computers connected to the network. Tomlinson is credited with the invention of the "@" symbol as a way to separate the user's name from the computer's name in email addresses, a convention that is widely used in email today.
