Okay, guy who invented the invented email died.
He said Uncle Freddy died.
Uncle Freddy.
Hey Bill, I'm sending you an email about the guy who invented email dying today.
This is my way of honoring what he did.
I imagine he'll get very little press because Nancy, just say no, Reagan died
this weekend too.
Here's an excerpt from an article about him.
Internet Hall of Famer Ray Tomlinson has died.
Tomlinson was the man who basically invented email as we know it today,
including making the choice to use the at sign in an email address.
He was 74 years old.
Tomlinson, I think I said his name wrong the first time.
Tomlinson invented email, a system where a user on one network could send a
message to someone on another network in 1971.
Oh, they left some of it out of there.
Tomlinson invented a network.
I mean, I'm going to read it the way I see it.
Tomlinson, or Tomlinson, however I feel like reading it.
Tomlinson invented email, a system where a user on one network could send a
message to someone on another network while the government, advertisers, and
hackers could all read your private information.
This was invented in 1971.
Had Tomlinson had any idea what people were going to do with his invention,
would he have made it?
Would he have invented it?
And the answer is, of course he would have.
How else was he going to get some pussy?
All right?
This was his slug line.
Hey, can you meet my fucking friend Tomlinson over here?
I don't want to meet him.
Hey, he invented email.
Oh my God.
Hey, you.
Can I touch your pee-pee?
That's actually really interesting.
There's Internet Hall of Famers?
Now I have to look that up.
Who's in the Internet Hall of Fame?
Jesus Christ.
I want to see images, too.
I want to see what the fuck these people look like.
Internet Hall of Fame.
Here we go.
Come on, man.
Internet Hall of Fame homepage.
Holy shit.
2014 Hall of Fame inductees.
I didn't know this.
This is fucking awesome.
Internet Hall of Fame.
Paul Vixie.
Internet piracy.
Well, let me see the list.
D's.
All right.
Here we go.
Here's a list.
Here's a list of who.
Who isn't.
All right.
Here's some of the pioneers.
Look at these fucking eggheads.
Jesus Christ.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Oh, my God.
If I could do a fucking screenshot of this, I got to put the link up here.
My God.
What is it about being super smart and just.
I guess everybody gets one gift.
I'll tell these people this is a rough one.
You know, there's a lot of fucking lonely prom nights on this page.
All right.
Douglas Engelbart.
And he's as good looking as that fucking name.
Oh, he looks like a sweet old man.
Let's see what this guy.
Dougie.
Jesus Christ.
He's got the old man face.
In 1963, Dr. Engelbart founded the Augmentation Research Center lab at SR.
Yes.
How do you tell a woman that that's your dream and she's not going to glaze
over?
Try doing that while that fucking.
I can't feel my face when I'm with you.
I said I want to start the Augmentation Research Center lab.
Where are you going?
Where he pioneered a system for augmenting human intellect in which workers
sitting at display workstations could collaborate on solutions to humanity's
problems through a vast online information space.
Did it matter that no one ever fucking uses it?
Look at this guy.
He fucking.
See, this is what all these.
These guys are all.
All these men and women.
And their hearts in the right fucking place.
And then these fucking lunatics in these corporations, these sociopaths, get
their fucking manicured fingers on these things.
All right.
Susan Estrada.
You could tell she was a looker back in the day.
God, I bet all these guys fucking jerked off to her, huh?
When she came around the fucking augmentation lab.
Is Susan here yet?
This is probably why she's, this is probably the woman why they're there.
She was, this is, this woman here was probably the inspiration for the fucking
virtual reality sex suit that they're trying to work on.
Estrada founded CERF Surfnet.
One of the original regional IP networks in 1988.
Surfnet serves the academic and commercial communities in California.
I still don't even know what it is.
As an executive director, she took the initial National Science Foundation
funding, $2.8 million, and grew the network from 25 sites to hundreds of sites.
I don't know what it does.
All right, let's, let's look at this with Dennis Jennings.
This guy looks like a fucking NFL ref from 1958.
As the first program director for networking at the U.S. National Science
Foundation, Dr. Jennings was responsible for the design and the development of
NSF net program.
No way, he did that?
I have no idea what any of these fucking people did.
Come on, man.
He's trying to find somebody who looks, okay, this guy's not a bad looking guy.
Oh, yes, he is.
He isn't.
He's got a full head of hair, but you can just see he's a spaz.
You know, he's one of those guys that seems sort of cool until he starts
laughing.
They're like, eh, eh, eh, eh.
All right, Eric Bina.
Bina co-created with fellow Internet Hall of Famer Mark Anderson the first
version of the Mosaic web browser in 1993.
I think I kind of know what that is.
All right, you know what?
And with that, I'm fucking bored, just like the chicks walking away from these
people at the bar.
Internet Hall of Famer.
Well, you know what?
Moment of silence for Ray Tomlinson.
His heart was in the right place.
Who knew that pedophiles would use his invention to send pictures and shit?
