Godfathers of the Internet

Called the “@” sign designation a “nice hack”

The first email message evolved from merging code from two

programs that were never originally intended to send

messages to other computers.

Tomlinson used the “@” sign as a way to signify an

unambiguous relationship between a person and a computer.

Mobile Email Stats

Our tables are going everywhere.


iPhone is the most common email client used today, almost

doubling Outlook.

Android is #3 behind Outlook

Tables designed for desktops must bend and flex for mobile,

otherwise the user will have to pinch and zoom in order to see

anything, or worse, will see a broken layout.
