[Air-L] A rewrite of our history

Some of you who are interested in the history of our field might find this as disturbing as i did. * The inventor of e-mail on innovation and his path to the Smithsonian<http://link.email.washingtonpost.com/r/MEPMRJ/NSC4SB/ZCNCKZ/FVLP7K/7278IF/50/h> * V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai spoke about the discovery he made at the age of 14, and his path from a New Jersey high school to the Smithsonian. ( by Emi Kolawole , The Washington Post) he discovered e-mail in 1978!!!! It seems MIT and the Smithsonian have agreed on this.. *Distinguished Professor Emeritus Information Systems, NJIT homepage: http://is.njit.edu/turoff *
