V. A. Shiva Ayyadurai (born Vellayappa Ayyadurai Shiva, December 2, 1963) is an Indian-American scientist, engineer, politician, entrepreneur, and promoter of conspiracy theories and unfounded medical claims. He is notable for his widely discredited claim to be the “inventor of email”, based on the electronic mail software called “EMAIL” he wrote as a New Jersey high school student in the late 1970s. Initial reports that repeated Ayyadurai’s assertion—from organizations such as The Washington Post and the Smithsonian Institution—were followed by public retractions. These corrections were triggered by objections from historians and ARPANET pioneers who pointed out that email was already actively used in the early 1970s.
David Crocker, a member of the ARPANET research community, writing in the Post, said, “The reports incorrectly credited [EMAIL’s] author, a 14-year-old in the late 1970s, as the ‘inventor’ of email, long after it had become an established service on the ARPANET.” Another computer historian, Marc Weber, a curator at the Computer History Museum, said that by 1978, “nearly all the features we’re familiar with today had appeared on one system or another over the previous dozen years”, including emoticons, mailing lists, flame wars, and spam mail.
