Email and the @ Symbol

Here in Australia we have a really interesting talk show hosted by Fenella Kernebone (By Design) who does spots on ABC Radio National.

Today they did a story about the history of the @ keyboard symbol, and, of course, what that meant for email…

The @ symbol is centuries old, recently elevated to mass use. The symbol itself has an air of mystery.

    Thanks for your post here. One thing I would like to say is the fact most professional areas consider the Bachelors Degree as the entry level requirement for an online certification. Though Associate Certifications are a great way to begin with, completing the Bachelors reveals many good opportunities to various careers, there are numerous internet Bachelor Course Programs available coming from institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another thing is that many brick and mortar institutions offer you Online editions of their diplomas but usually for a drastically higher payment than the companies that specialize in online degree programs.
