Shiva Ayyadurai claims that he invented email at age 14.
He was a gifted kid, that much is clear.
And he was hanging around Rutgers University at the time where they had recently installed HP 3000 timesharing systems running the MPE operating system, the first one to include a database system with the OS. Rutgers had 4 campuses and they must have interconnected them in some way. In 1978 it was likely a system of remote modem lines so that people could log into any campus. Many people wrote code to use these modem lines to upload and download. That is enough to build an email network.
Shiva did write a bunch of FORTRAN code to emulate an interoffice email system using the database to store messages. And he may have been the first person to write EMAIL on a document, namely his source code.
But others were certainly using terms like E-mail and Electronic Mail in conversation years before 1978.
This is the best explanation I have seen with all the details of what actually happened.

Kudos to the 14yo who accomplished all this. But like many gifted kids he shows signs of high functioning autism which also comes with social awkwardness. He doesn't appear to understand when to shut up, or think about how other people will react to his statements.
His history at MIT, with 4 degrees, shows that he is very smart. But he should focus on getting things done, not making public statements and claims like the recent PUBLIC letter to POTUS claiming that POTUS himself was the 100,000th signatory to a petition to investigate Fauci.
It is entirely possible that he is one of the gifted kids that the Cabal has sucked into its machine, and he is not a free agent. He may even have undergone Monarch programming and so is not aware that he is controlled disinfo.
