The Renaissance took place in chaos and plague.
Shiva Ayyadurai
If you look at the origins of the postal service in the U.S., the founding fathers created it to protect democratic rights.
Since the day I was born as a low-caste Indian, I've had to fight.
Innovation actually demands freedom and freedom demands innovation.
In many ways I just did not fit the mold of a 1970s high tech innovator. I was not white, I was not working for the military or for a defense contractor, and I must have seemed too young and too naive to stand up for the truth.
Be the light. Know the truth. God bless you.
Email did precisely what I predicted, back in 1978, it took over the postal mail process and system of writing letters.
Many people don't even know why they're going to college.
Jobs cannot be created if innovation is restricted to large corporates.
I think that if the Postal Service dies, it will be the end of democracy as we know it.
Our ancient yogis and sages were not just medical healers, but systems scientists and systems engineers, who saw the body and the universe as an interconnected engineering system, a system of systems that are governed by fundamental engineering systems principles.
I have lived the American Dream.
Email has explosively supported the growth of letter writing globally.
Fundamentally there is a narrative around where innovation can come out from.
That's the nightmare for Elizabeth Warren, because I can attack her from the left. I can say, 'Wait a minute, what do you know about the journey of a person of color? You know nothing. This is all theory to you. Because you did lie. You took advantage of affirmative action.'
We are one people, and we cannot let the power of darkness or Power, Priviledge, and Control - destroy the Light.
I want to stand up for free speech.
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.
Clearly texting, SMS and chat are very different than writing a letter or email.
Prior to 1980, people used to dictate to a secretary for preparing written documents and that person would then punch keys on a typewriter. I was inspired to invent a medium for doing this work by engaging just one person.
I have no doubt that my origin and ethnicity have strongly influenced controversy over my invention of email.
I didn't even know about MIT until two weeks before I applied.
For me, defeating Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts is driving a bigger blow to these institutions of power right in the belly of the beast.
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.
A quick search through the U.S. Copyright Office's website will show that email was first used in 1979 and has been registered under 'Shiva Ayyadurai.'
False speech does harm to readers, who are misled by it; it does harm to journalism, which is weakened by it; and it does harm to the subjects of the speech, whose reputations and careers are damaged by it.
Email cannot die in the near future because of its universal acceptance.
Engineering is about finding solutions with a commitment to ongoing refinement. That's what engineering training teaches you.
You can't call someone a fraud, a liar, and a fake and hide under the First Amendment.
The invention of email evolved from a challenge to solve a real world problem.
I named my software 'EMAIL,' (a term never used before in the English language), and I even received the first U.S. Copyright for that software, officially recognizing me as The Inventor of Email, at a time when Copyright was the only way to recognize software inventions, since the U.S. Supreme Court was not recognizing software patents.
I am humbled to be selected as a TiE Star recipient and to be included among such an esteemed group of true innovators and intrepid entrepreneurs.
I, in fact, believe people should work before they even go to school.
In our case, I, a working engineer, inventor and scientist, am bringing new innovation to campaigning to enable a grass-roots movement.
On August 30, 1982, I get issued a copyright officially recognizing me as the inventor of e-mail.
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.
The problem with copyright is it only protects that literal work. It doesn't protect the design and the ideas. That's unfortunate.
I came in as a legal immigrant. My dad came first. We had to wait about a year.
I think only a real Indian can defeat a fake Indian.
The reality is, the Republicans in Massachusetts are irrelevant and they're in collusion with the Democrats.
What I see happening to this country is a neo-caste system.
I'm the darkie you can't control!
Lawsuits take a long time.
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.
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.
I fundamentally do not believe in the patenting of software. It would be like Shakespeare patenting the tragic love story.
I came to CSIR with a passion to apply all of my scientific - entrepreneurial talents to help uplift the masses of Indians through the delivery of technologies.
Much of the email we use today is based on what I foresaw in 1978.
Even students from rural India may have bright ideas. They need to be tapped.
I was lucky that my parents had supported and guided me with a positive framework.
