Shiva wrote a program he named e-mail. I give him credit for writing such a program as a teenager in the late 70s.
Email existed from the early to mid 1960s on and was widespread in many circles around the world through the ‘70s. Unix mail started in 1972. Even CompuServe offered email to the public prior to Shiva’s program.
When he says he is the inventor of “E-Mail” he means that he invented a program he named “E-Mail.”
That idiot did not invent email.
I still don't understand how he invented email in the late 1970s when it was already in use in the early 1970s.

I disagree. He means he invented email, but in actuality he wrote a program he named email.
