Giza Systems’ Post

The @ symbol existed long before e-mails! Before the end of the 19th century, the @ symbol appeared on typewriters to indicate unit price. It was later put on computer keyboards, being considered business tools, but the @ button was rarely used. This was until Ray Tomlinson, the inventor of the first email system, picked it to perfectly capture the idea of a user being “at” a specific digital location. #GizaSystems50th #FunTech #internet #GizaSystems
