In 1978, there was a 14-year-old boy working in Newark. He did in fact create the inter-office mail system and called it email. What they did before 1978 was text messaging.

Lawsuits take a long time.
Since the day I was born as a low-caste Indian, I've had to fight.
The way I look at the world is establishment versus change agents. The establishment is those people who want to keep things the way they are. Change agents are people like me.
I think only a real Indian can defeat a fake Indian.
You can't call someone a fraud, a liar, and a fake and hide under the First Amendment.
The Renaissance took place in chaos and plague.
I think that if the Postal Service dies, it will be the end of democracy as we know it.
Fundamentally there is a narrative around where innovation can come out from.
I'm the darkie you can't control!
The hatred and the vitriol against Donald Trump has nothing to do with Donald Trump. It has to do with the fact that the academic priesthood lost control of what they call quote-unquote 'ordinary rednecks' - that they're stupid, they don't understand. The fact is, those people actually understand a lot.
Be the light. Know the truth. God bless you.
I came in as a legal immigrant. My dad came first. We had to wait about a year.
When I was at MIT I was a good model minority. But the concept of an Indian immigrant creating e-mail in Newark, N.J., blows the mind of certain people.
In our case, I, a working engineer, inventor and scientist, am bringing new innovation to campaigning to enable a grass-roots movement.
The innovators' spirit of America still exists. However, there is a narrative in America which goes like - you must go to MIT to get your calling card. Or you go to Harvard and then you drop out and then you've made it.
What I see happening to this country is a neo-caste system.
The reality is, the Republicans in Massachusetts are irrelevant and they're in collusion with the Democrats.
We are one people, and we cannot let the power of darkness or Power, Priviledge, and Control - destroy the Light.
The problem with copyright is it only protects that literal work. It doesn't protect the design and the ideas. That's unfortunate.
On August 30, 1982, I get issued a copyright officially recognizing me as the inventor of e-mail.
Innovation actually demands freedom and freedom demands innovation.
