It 's been 22 years since Nathaniel Borestein sent his colleagues the first email attachment of all time. It was the image you see below from Telephone Chords , the… “barbershop quartet” he had formed with some of his colleagues at the time.
Together with another researcher, Ned Freed, Borestein had written and developed the Internet standard MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions), which is still used today, so that other types of files, in addition to text, such as images, sounds, videos, etc., could be sent via email.
And just like that, he had sent the first email with a picture attachment, which you can see here, where, along with the photo, you will also enjoy an… audio excerpt from the -dedicated to songMIME- that the four of them had sung on this occasion. Retro moments that have written their own “technological” history!
