logo @The presence of the e-mail or electronics mail facilitated our work, especially to send files quickly. In the e-mail address, we used the symbol @ or that often was read at. However, did you know the so simple but important symbol origin? In 1972, a quiet engineer was named Ray Tomlison the success sent the first e-mail between two machines. At that time he chose to use the symbol @.
